This is insanity. Please do not allow expansion of the wood pellet industry. It is destroying our forests and does not burn clean. Future generations are counting on you protecting the environment.
Please stop cutting down the forests and selling our water. How could you possibly not see what you're doing for the future? Your government is absolutely maddening.
Rather than removing trees from their job of sequestering carbon, I recommend that we dive into the hundreds of new designs making wind power efficient and adaptable, and even beautiful, particularly for micro grids and individual buildings.

Burning wood pellets is an environmentally responsible alternative??? HA! Saying so is just another example of false advertising. It's not 'clean', and it's not 'saving our forests' when living trees are logged to expand availability of wood for pellets.

The biomass industry is not a solution to climate change when it involves cutting down trees to produce the wood pellets, as the Ontario wood pellet industry is doing. You might as well be burning coal. Deforestation is a significant cause of climate warming.

We have no time to waste! To protect the world's climate and our children's future, we should not hesitate to do everything we possibly can to plant and nourish trees and other plant life, not destroy them.
Cutting down mature trees that have stood in some cases for hundreds of years in anywhere in the world is an abomination.....when the forests go, so do we.....especially like the Amazon forest....if we don't have air to breathe, we are done.....
We need strong, vibrant & diverse forests & woodlands in order to have any chance at all of survival. Cutting down trees for wood pellets is NOT an acceptable alternative of energy. Leave the trees in the ground to grow & expand & develop for the future generations.
How could deforestation as a climate solution make sense? Supporting the wood pellet industry as a viable alternative to a climate solution is simply wrong.
Stop endorsing the use of wood pellets! There's no sense in encouraging future reasons to destroy communities of our greatest ally in the climate crisis.
We need trees more than ever right now. Stop having them cut down. Hemp is all we need for this purpose. It is criminal the way the government has supressed the hemp industry for so long for no reason.

After reading this proposal I'm struck by the intent to double the amount of forest biomass currently being 'farmed' in Ontario. It can't be a good idea to be cutting down forests in the current environment as they function as our carbon sink.

Burning biomass for energy is not a climate change mitigation option and will in fact make the situation worse. With forest area generally declining the carbon emissions are not compensated for and pollution increases.

For the love of the planet, please stop expanding the wood pellet industry – it’s a false climate solution that is dirtier than coal at the smokestack. Please do the right thing!
