Re: chopping down boreal forests to produce electricity -

Our planet cannot survive false climate solutions that will ultimately lead us into planetary catastrophe all the while trampling Indigenous Sovereignty and critical biodiversity. The very trees that help maintain life are being destroyed in the name of “environmental practice”.

The forestry industry is marketing wood pellets as a climate solution to replace fossil fuels, but burning wood pellets is actually dirtier than coal at the smokestack.

Additionally, wood pellets are supposed to be made from wood waste and dead trees, but instead we’re seeing whole trees from across Canada logged, manufactured (an energy-consuming/carbon-producing process) and exported to produce carbon-loaded energy internationally. The whole process is incredibly destructive and stupid.

Please stop this reprehensible money-grab. Your life depends on it. They’re worth more standing.
