Wood pellets are dirtier than coal when burned and their production should not be encouraged as a climate solution. Whole trees are being felled by this industry rather than the waste wood they claim.
Please reject this false claim to a climate solution and look to the long term.
One of the main products of Ontario’s forest biomass industry is wood pellets. Wood pellets are marketed as a clean energy alternative, but we know that wood pellets are dirtier than coal at the smokestack. Increasing deforestation as a climate solution is not viable.

Please Please protect our forests at all costs as it will impact our future. What will our children think of us ? Will they forgive us, and what will we leave them. Yes Canada seems to have endless trees but didn't the oceans of the world seem that way 20-30 years ago.

I am not in favour of expanding the wood pellet industry!! Wood pellets are dirtier than coal!!! How is this heading toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions???
Please do not expand the wood pellet industry!!!
Destroying forests to make paper products when we should be using our cloths to wipe up spills, and to make super-soft toilet paper, but to now mow down the carbon-reducing forests, home to many species and keeping water clean, the new plans to create electricity from trees is the last desperate att

Studies indicate that the manufacture of wood pellets and burning them will cause more pollution and destroy more trees than alternative green energy projects: Yale School of the Environment.

Ontario biomass action plan:
Felling Ontario forest to burn as fuel is a double whammy to the climate.
More carbon is released into the air. The carbon absorption of the tree canopy is reduced.
There are several good scientific solutions out there. Government should be above lobbying of these short sighted solutions by the corporate greed monster. They should actually implement the best most eco friendly solution because they have the power to do so.
Hey there,
Don't think it's right to burn down Any forests as they help clean the air we breathe and home to thousands of Wildlife.
We should be setting an example not burning any trees
Hello, from my understanding, burning wood pellets is even worse for the environment than coal. If so, please do not allow it. We should all take care of the environment. Thank you.
One cannot cut off the bottom half of a blanket and sew it on top thinking that a problem is solved!!
Bio mass is NOT a sustainable solution!!
Forestry depletion is at an all time high.
It is NOT readily renewable.
It,s madness if you ask me..
It’s astonishing that the wood pellet industry would be promoted as climate change relief when trees are absolutely key to climate relief. The more trees that are cut down the less able the environment is to recover so stop this lie of wood pellets been good for the climate.
