It would be a crime if the wood pellet industry were to be expanded wood pellets used for fuel. We need a government that protects our environment not one that further contributes to its pollution.
CHAR technologies Ltd. is pleased to submit the following recommendations to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry: Ontario Forest Biomass Action Plan.

Stop expanding the wood pellet industry. Logging whole trees from primary forests is a false climate solution. More environmental regulations are needed not less. Restore the Endangered Species Act
Burning wood for energy is going backwards. If you want to fight climate change and provide good jobs to those transitioning out of fossil fuel industries, then support nuclear! It is the cleanest and it is safe.

We need to stop cutting down trees to burn for fuel. This is not green energy. Deforestation drives climate change it doesn’t stop it! That plus cutting down old growth trees in the boreal forest and elsewhere destroys habitat for vulnerable species. Please stop this!

Stop utilizing wood pellets for energy, and worse trying to say it’s climate friendly.
We need to invest in real green energy solutions, like the ones you previously tried to cancel Doug.
