heres a lil fun fact for you hippys way back in the day forest fires used to naturally ocher this gave the young growth trees a chance to grow and now that you retards keep putting them out logging has become a great substitute if you guys had any brains youd know about this stop wasting peoples time and money put down the joint and pick up a chain saw !!!!

if hemp was legal we wouldn't have to cut a single tree down or pump oil from our core.

Hope you tree huggers are happy with killing an industry and taking peoples jobs away all to save a tree, YOU CAN PLANT MORE. .

LOL ! These silly tree huggers are completely insane!

Do they live in a house? Do they have a bed, a chair or a table to eat at?

Where do they think the wood came from for there lives.

These people are hypocrites of the highest order.

One of them idiot tree huggers, I think her name was Butterfly, lived in a tree for two years, on a six by eight platform. And now get this. It was made of -W-O-O-D-. LOL ! What morons!

The cities of Vancouver, Victoria, Seattle and Portland have all stopped logging in their water sources. The raw water turbidity in Chapman Creek has come down since logging was stopped but it is still way above the standard for a drinking water source.

question what kind of logging is going on here is helo or skidder cable yarder what

othere wise from this limited videos that i have seen the treane is to steep for most skidders and seems a little large for yarders so im guessing helo whitch is not going to affect the water

SCRD "The Big Con"

The SCRD have transported the recycling they collect at the Gibsons Park Plaza Mall in Gibsons over 260,000 kilometers to Sechelt BC and then back through Gibsons, on its way to Vancouver. That is 6 times around the equator!Just to move recycling. There is a private recycling depot one block away from theirs. It transports its recycling zero kilometeres before it leaves the coast!

(cont'd)

The SCRD employees working at the water plant are not alarmed, the professionals that study it say there is little risk, no one has ever gotten sick, and the Chapman is subject to normal geomorphic processes - the same as any other mountainous terrain.This generates a certain amount of sediment. We will have to deal with it until the mountains have worn themselves flat and then some jackass will farm and release cowshit and phosphate fertilizer then you'll be happily dead.
