Monday, June 25, 2012 has Greenpeace praising KC for looking at alternate fibre source for their "papers". Read my third POST July 30, 2011 about just that sort of thing. Newspapers going Green. It is not an easy thing for Canadian mills to do.
And, when one finds the connection between KC and Greenpeace .. it is Greenpeace that helped to WRITE the KC guidelines to dump the Boreal wood basket to protect Old Growth and Woodland Caribou habitat.
Most of my essays are back in the 2011 months from July on when I started this Blog. The ENGOs are concentrating more on the Tar Sands and pipelines so I am concentrating on photographing my Boreal and researching.
The Federal government seems bent on dumping our Canadian research into the environment. The National Round Table on the Environment and Economy is one casualty . It was a non-partisan research group of academics, the environmental movement and industry. They were to "play the role of catalyst in identifying, explaining and promoting" in all sectors of Canada - " the principles and practices of sustainable development; identify environmental and economic implications; explore and find actions to balance our economy"; and most of all "do the research to allow for reasoned choices."
Some say they spent too much time and money on Climate Change.
Well, should we listen to Canadian researchers or some other country ?
We may not like what they say, but at least it is (hopefully) a Canadian point of view and we can argue constructively with them.
