Several activists with Rainforest Action Network (RAN) were arrested today after chaining themselves to the main entrance to Weyerhaeuser Corp.'s annual shareholder meeting to protest the company's contract to buy wood logged without consent from the territory of a Canadian First Nation.
The activists were demanding that Weyerhaeuser stop buying wood clear-cut from the northwestern Ontario traditional territory of the Grassy Narrows First Nation, which has declared a moratorium on all industrial activities on its land. Last week, RAN issued a letter to Weyerhaeuser CEO Steve Rogel demanding that the company follow the lead of its competitor Boise Inc., which in February announced that it would suspend its contract for wood obtained from the conflict region unless community consent can be established.

so what is the point of protesting Weyerhaeuser? what kind of structure do you live in? do you use toilet paper? any kind of writing paper?
on to a better point it would look better to protest the plastic makers or auto makers for the simple fact plastics are very toxic cars produce toxic gases and both of those ARE killing the planet WE in the forest industry LOVE the trees we deal with they are everything to us, instead of protesting us think about join in and save our planet with us
It seems quite ignorant to blast someone for having the passion to publicly oppose issues you would rather ignore. They ought be praised for their courage, not ridiculed.
