95% is a conservative estimate of old growth destruction. old growth means virgin forests, that have never been cut. we have less than 5% of those left.

Also, since 1950 we've lost over 90% of the large commercial fish in our oceans. That's not sustainable. i'm serious. just google 90% fish oceans, just those 3 words.

'Outsiders' are the only ones who ever achieve anything of significance. The work that needs to be done to save the planet can't be done within the system.

but dude yeah, peta kills animals and they should be stopped or shut down, but we need to shut down the loggers even more. They've killed 95% of the native old growth forests in the US. There's not just one way to live, and all these other creatures that inhabit the forests have a right to exist for their own sakes, not just for whatever benefit they can provide to civilized humans.

They say "We're killing the earth and our legal bullshit isn't working so we have to take it to the next level."

Long live First Nation environmental resistance!

Were it not for the forces of genocidal imperialism, there just might have been a First Nation resistance to environmental destruction (and therefore capitalism) resulting in an alternative to, well, societal suicide.

sticks and stones may brake my bones but idiots that wonn't stop destroying our planet should get off it or be pushed off.

@greenrevolutionary Aside from the, "it's soo beautiful" stuff, tell why cutting down that much forest is so damaging to humans. There was an ice age long ago, and tropical and subtropical trees surely would have tied (the other climate zones would experience loss too) and the animals depending upon them would have too. Obviously our species is still alive, so the damaging of the forest by the ice age must not have been fatal. Why will it be fatal now?

Peta should not be shut down. No, you're wrong there.

What are we for? A sustainable retreat. Most important progress of the human mind we've seen for years.

I just don't understand why can people be so greedy!!

[Mennismervice]

They can't afford to be green because they are victims of our western government.

95%? That's hard to believe. Actually, the US takes much better care of our land than most '3rd world' countries. They can't AFFORD to be 'green', while we somewhat can.

The 'green' people are against farmers, hunters, loggers. What are they FOR? Stagnation? The only constant is change. Progress will happen despite your protests. Better to work within the system and council moderation. 'Outsiders' rarely succeed.
