Update Feb 9, 2025
Screncapture from a presentation by Jamie Stephen posted on Youtube, at approx 27:00 min..Title: How to cut Maritime GHG emissions by 30% by 2030 These figures are for NB, NS and PEI combined. The annual fibre requirement is equivalent to the total wood harvests for NS circa 2000 when our forests were seriously degraded by overharvesting. (His numbers and assumptions- explicit and implicit – need to be critically reviewed!)
