issues of Global Warming and our Dying
Oceans...
Time
is of the Essence
(If you don't believe this, then watch this Global Warming Primer:

Aldur Fuller's presentation
)
California's AB32, The Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006
(Nuñez/Pavley) passed the Legislature on August 31st after
the
bill’s
authors, Asm. Fran Pavley and Asm. Speaker Fabian Nuñez, and
Senate
President Don Perata, announced they had reached an agreement with Gov.
Schwarzenegger on the landmark law. In June 2005, Gov. Schwarzenegger
issued an executive order that established a target for reducing global
warming pollution to 1990 levels by 2020, and 80 percent below 1990
levels by 2050..

this summary of climate change and clearcutting, this is a text
document representation (with pictures, graphs etc.) of this website
Clearcutting
is directly linked to global warming
through multiple
sources of emissions (clearing, earthworks, soil erosion, slash
burning, herbicide spraying,
cloud formation
,
etc).
Demand that all levels of state government fight global warming. Demand
that CDF halt clearcutting and begin reviewing timber operations with
future generations of humans and wildlife as a priority.
Go to
the Forest Ethics
website
and become part of the statewide campaign against SPI's clearcutting.
Join
the
Battle Creek Alliance
and
help hold off clearcutting in the Sierra / Cascade Range of California.

UNDERSTAND
YOUR PAPER IMPACT:
|
There's
no doubt that SPI is a company that
practices destruction on a
much larger scale than any other company, but ultimately, we as
consumers have to make changes in how much we use. The fact is that
companies will make things as long as we buy them, and will not if we
won't. That's our only power.
Paper facts:
Annual Global Deforestation= over 26 million acres
That= 50 acres of forest being cut, every minute of every day
50% of wood cut is made into paper
1 billion pieces of junk mail delivered a year in US (1/3 of all in
world)
What
you
can do TODAY:
Call catalog
companies and ask to be taken off
their mailing list; Buy 100% recycled paper for your printing needs;
Print on both sides of paper; Ask your workplace to use recycled paper;
Recycle your waste paper.
