Wood pellets are not a climate solution. Burning them has a higher carbon footprint than burning coal. Not only does it put CO2 into the atmosphere in the process of manufacturing and burning it, it also increases deforestation, which reduces the number of trees taking CO2 out of the atmosphere.

The burning of anything is not a climate-wise alternative regardless of whether it comes from a sustainable source or not. The fact that wood pellets are a dirtier energy souce should be a clue that it's not an environmentally friendly solution. Rely on solar, wind and wave power. Read more

Every single day I get multiple emails from environmetal organizations begging for people to reach out to their government officials and ask them to stop allowing mega-corporations to continue to destroy our natural resources.

I hardly recognize this party anymore. I have voted NDP for almost half a century. This is not the environmental practices I support. Logging old growth and logging for wood pellets - what’s the plan? Doesn’t sound sustainable from what I can find out.
