Tackle Climate Change - Use Wood!

The B.C. forestry industry and Premier Gordon Campbell announced a new initiative on July 7 that will raise global awareness around the critical role B.C. forest products can play in the fight against climate change. B.C.'s forest products store vast amounts of carbon that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere and contribute to climate change. Moreover, by using clean wood-based bio-energy in the manufacture of these products - and substituting them for fossil-fuel-intensive alternatives - further reductions in B.C.'s greenhouse gas emissions are achieved.
