Stop expanding the wood pellet industry. We need our forests to sequester the CO2 from the atmosphere and to give us much needed oxygen to breath. Trees should not be chopped down for pellets for stoves.

Wood pellets are marketed as a clean energy alternative, but we know that this isn't true - wood pellets are dirtier than coal at the smokestack! Sadly, they are one of the main products of Ontario’s forest biomass industry.

Biomass as wood pellets can never be a climate solution, as it immediately adds more carbon to the atmosphere in two ways; by burning and also there is a decrease in the amount of carbon being captures by the trees that are cut down.

It does not make sense to destroy the trees and environment in the name of sustainability. It's unstainable consumption. We need to rethink.
Thank you.
Cutting trees for energy is harmful to the environment. While this affects the earth, air and rivers, it also destroys animal habitat and trespasses on the homes and hunting and fishing grounds of our First Nations peoples.
It is not just Ontario converting forests to energy, so is BC, see the CCPA's report. Slashing our forests to create more pollution is utter stupidity. As pointed out in the CCPA / BC report scientists are coming out against strongly against destroying the biomass.
This is a time where truth is coming to the surface. Anything that is untruth will be shown exactly what it is. How do you want to be remembered by your children and your children's children? As the person who stood up for them for their health for their quality of life?

Dalton McGuinty and the Liberals promised to convert the coal-fired power plants in this Province years' ago and it was never done. The technology is out there to turn those plants into garbage-burning electricity generating power plants.

So let me get this straight…..you want to cut down trees which act as a carbon sink and turn them into pellets to be burned and put MORE carbon back into the atmosphere. WOW! That makes sense….I’d love to meet the genius that came up with this plan!

The Ontario government claims that expanding the wood pellet industry will provide alternative employment for fossil fuel workers, but these would be jobs in an industry that dumps more carbon into the atmosphere than what it's replacing.
Start replacing the old world jobs!
