CPAWS suggests the Canadian government invest in green power, pointing towards waste produced by pulp and paper mills as a potential source of biomass. Electricity and heat produced by the biomass could power mills and turn them into net contributors to the grid. Ontario Power Generation is already aiming to convert coal power plants to burn biomass derived from forest waste.

In a growing green market place Canada could give forest companies the opportunity to prove their operations are sustainable. CPAWS clearly cautions against any initiatives to burn Forests for fuel or energy. CPAWS also encourages the government to conserve critical habitats for endangered species like the woodland caribou within forestry tenures.
