The 1st Cascadia Poetry Festival is happening at SPLAB March 24 and 25, 2012. Will this be an historic event? Advance reservations are highly suggested and are cheap at $50. Half the space is already taken. & here’s what the Gold Pass looks like:
George Draffan on the Global Assault on Forests
George Draffan is a researcher, the head of the Public Information Network and the co-author of Strangely Like War: The Global Assault on Forests. He discussed the tax subsidies to corporations who deforest the world, the history of how industrial logging has exacerbated forest fires, and how deforestation is proof Western culture values the rights of corporations over humans, as well as global corporate deforestation, the disproportionate percentage of the world’s tree products the U.S.A. uses, how most of those products are for unwanted packaging and tissues. And some solutions, such as restoration ecology.
