I came home, this morning, to the happy chorus of chainsaws, cutting down old growth forest, near my house. Trees that were between 100 and 200 years old. The sound those beautiful healthy trees made as they bit the dust, the splintering shrieks and whines, left me speechless. I feel like making thousands of sturdy baseball bats with the remains of the trees and inviting the owner of the property to run a gauntlet composed of every environmentalist on the island. I'm truly beside myself. I want a mass extinction of humanity. Monte, where are you. I just joined the Die-off crowd.

That sucks, threadbear. Any idea who is doing it and/or what for ? Is it development, or harvesting the wood for material or something else ?

This kind of stuff happens every single day. That Die-off can happen soon enough I say.

Within a minute of the altercation with the loggers, I ran up a steep slope and tore a muscle in my leg. Then I collected the mail, a letter from Revenue Canada, with a HUGE bill. The accountant got something wrong, I guess. Sigh...

I suggested to one of the loggers, that they do what all the other loggers are doing, in B.C. and grow pot. Is that so wrong?


The Dope Rush--Guardian newspaper:

Believe it or not, there are parts of the country where cannabis provides more jobs than logging, mining, oil and gas combined.

People do that here too. They clear everything but the oaks, then the oaks get oak wilt and die, and they have a lot full of nothing but dead trees.

Saw a bunch of new HUGE clear cuts right off I-5 in Washington on the way up to Tacoma. Big ol' signs said, "Land for Sale"
.....depressing shit I tell ya!

More strip malls and gas stations???!!!

[Ferretlover]

Almost speechless!

We All need those trees! If the oceans continue their dieoff, and al the trees are cleared, just what is going to make oxygen and consume the CO2??
Stupid, stupid people!

I've got to finish logging my back 1/4 acre because the new neighbour next door went in and mowed down almost 1/4 acre of crown land behind his lot. This of course turned my trees into sails waiting to come down in this falls wind storms.

I'm waiting to get word back from the ministry before updating that thread but my best guess is the the fine will be in the 10's of thousands.

I've never understood Albertan's needs to move in and mow it down. later they complain about the landslides....
