what the hell you talking "ancient forests" in Quebec most of the trees are les than 80 years old, this is due to forest fire and blow down. Natural things.

p.s. i like that you made your signs from paper. likey paper made from a a.b. plant

These are ancient forests.

Do they realize that this company plants more trees than they harvest each year? A tree grows old and dies after time. The paper making industry is one of the greenest that there is. Get a life, and find something other than this to bitch at!

I agree catgirlllll, but when I use that same " do what I got to do line" people think i am nuts or crazy. I use them same violence to get my messages across to people yet it is considered wrong, green peace uses some extreme violence in things they do. If thats okay, so is what i do.

[Catgirllllll]

SO be it. Greenpeace does what they gotta do and I think it's great.

greenpeace and its supporters need to wake up.

These "intact" forests are biologically no different than regenerated forests and will be subjected to the same pressures from encroaching cities, whether preserved or not. These green hippies only want to save "intact" forests for their aesthetic value. Their views are irrational, selfish, and impractical which are exactly what we do not need during times in which we need to make the right resource management decisions.

Got to be very carefull with greenpeace, while some of their intentions are good at heart, there is no meaing of peace with them. ANYTHINT or anyone claiming to to be peaceful or use the word peace in it in my life are some of the most violent on earth. I seen so many peceful things turn into bloodshed by the peaceful ones who will destroy you if you do not agree

Some of our ancient forests MUST be protected, but it is possible to sustainably manage the boreal in away that respects the multi-use of our forests.

'Deforestation is caused by clearing forests for farms and cities. Forestry operations are geared toward reforestation and the maintenance of forest cover. Forests are stable and growing where people use the most wood and are diminishing where they use less. Using wood sends a signal to the marketplace to plant more trees and produce more wood.'Dr. P.Moore, co-founder of greenpeace.
