Wood Products manufacturing sector in the Energy Intensive and Trade-Exposed section (EITE) in the Draft Scoping Plan
We Need to Tell the Climate Action Council to Include Wood Products Manufacturing Sector in the Energy Intensive and Trade-Exposed Section (EITE) Section of the Draft Scoping Plan!
THIS IS THE 5th LETTER IN OUR CLCPA ADVOCACY CAMPAIGN! We need each and every member to speak up EVERY WEEK.
This plan completely omits the Wood Products manufacturing sector! Our industry is 6th in the state in terms of overall manufacturing with significant environmental and economic benefits for New York State. Our sector and markets encourage and support forest management, forest carbon sequestration and adds sequestration in durable hardwood products. Paper and wood product manufacturing is the only industry that has a net positive environmental and carbon benefit in clean air, clean water, wildlife habitat and biodiversity WE NEED TO TELL THEM! They cannot prepare a one size fits all approach to impacting climate change through the scoping plan regulations. If this is not corrected, it will only yield a reduction in economic activity in New York, and a larger environmental footprint globally – it is counterproductive to the goals of the plan and must be addressed on a sector specific and site-specific basis.
ESFPA has written a letter which outlines all the benefits of forestry and what we provide on our private lands as well as specifics on how we want them to change the plan.
WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO EDIT THIS LETTER TO FIT YOUR SPECIFIC BUSINESS!
Tell our leaders and decision makers that the New York forestry community practices sustainable forestry, taking care of the land so that it provide all the benefits society relies upon for generations to come. Describe the very real the land use pressures on your ownership if regulations are tightened even more.
We need to do this for ourselves!
