Thanks for reminding us about this, Katii ! I've been slowly going paperless by informing companies that I'll catch them online, but I think I'll pick up the pace now that I'm HORRIFIED at the cost to virgin forests !

Forestethics.org is a great organization, Katii. This is pretty sad.

yep, we have leaders who would rather profit from our beautiful wild spaces than save them. wonderful old boreal forests for toilet paper and magazines. it is absolutely obscene. these forests are living lungs on our planet and look what is happening. everything today is based on greed and bottom line. very sad when humans look at nature and only see dollar signs. it seems as if the world is racing to decimate all living things in its oceans, waterways, forests, etc and those who can "fix" it, just don't care.

Ray, excellent question. We have to lobby, en masse, our representatives.

Yes, hemp will solve this problem. WE need that forest intact, it is not just canada's air, it is all of our air. That tar sands project is a big part of the problem with that forest, unfortunately the USA gets 14% of their oil from them, so it is our fault here also for buying their oil. Alot of people do not know this , they hear about having to break our dependence on foreign oil and think its only the mid-East, THE USA IMPORTS THE MAJORITY OF THEIR OIL FROM CANADA, wow, i know i was shocked to find this out. thx Katii
