A decision to burn more wood pellets means burning more trees for electricity – producing a fuel that’s even dirtier at the smokestack than coal. Do the right thing for the future of Ontario and stop the expansion of the wood pellet industry.

Cutting down trees for energy is not sustainable, it is akin to burning the furniture to heat the house. The climate and extinction crisis is not simply about fossil fuel use, it is about all carbon emissions and sequestration, all species and habitat preservation and loss. Read more

At a time in history when we need to expand carbon capture/ CO2 reduction, living thriving forests are vital to that. At a time when the world realizes that burning trees is as far from green renewables as is coal. At a time when lumber is needed you would burn it instead. Read more

Wood pellets are not a climate solution. In fact they'll just make climate change an even bigger emergency. If Doug Ford cares about breathable air, rising sea levels or endangered species, then he needs to put a stop to the expansion of wood pellets.
