Increasing deforestation as a climate solution is not viable. While the government and industry claim that only waste wood is used to manufacture wood pellets, more whole trees from primary, boreal forests are being logged to meet the demands of this growing industry.

Canada pledged to plant more trees. It will take years for newly planted trees to make a difference to the climate. Waste wood will not fill demands, and we cannot afford to have forest cut down.
