There are sustainable replacements for coal or wood pellets or natural gas that do not contribute to greenhouse gas accumulation. Cutting and burning pelletized trees which in nature are CO2 sinks/absorption units is a moronic doubly-harmful means of energy production.

Here in BC the old growth forests are being eliminated at a breathtaking speed. Protests are ongoing attempting to stop the stupid carnage of our forests. the same is true for Ontario’s lumber industry and we need to stop, think and move in a green environmental manner as opposed to green washing.

Trees represent life… cleaning our air. We need more trees 🌲 not less… we need trees for the animals and the earth.. we are are suppose to be saving the planet , not destroying it.
I am absolutely opposed to the proposed Forest Biomass Action Plan. The use of wood-based materials as a source of energy would be a backwards step, in the opposite direction from where we need to be going in developing environmentally friendly and sustainable energy alternatives.

Please don't do it... please do not destroy forests! How is that renewable??? One cannot plant back a forest. Once it is destroyed, the fine-tuned eco-system is gone forever, a planted forest cannot restore it.

Forests have far more value as reservoirs of carbon and of biodiversity than they do as burnable pellets for human consumption. Please rethink your economic strategies to make sure you are not promoting approaches that kill the golden goose.

Trees are important to the health of this planet, and the inhabitants on it. Destroying more of them is incredibly shortsighted, devastating to the animals and will help increase the climate change effect. Don’t do this.
Dear Minister.
Keep the forests for lumber and tourism. We have enough power up here in the north. We can share with the south if you put in the power lines. Otherwise you can draw from Quebec they don’t know what to do with all the excess
Humans need nature more than nature needs us. Forests have been unmanaged for eons, we must allow nature to be the infrastructure or we will need to build artificial infrastructure at a huge cost.

Please do not allow the expansion of the wood pellet industry (especially under the guise of a climate solution). We cannot afford false climate solutions that are marching us into planetary catastrophe while trampling Indigenous Sovereignty and crucial biodiversity.

I believe biomass energy, especially the production of wood pellets, is a serious mistake and cannot be considered a part of any serious or science based climate action plan.
