How Green Became the Color of Money

[Keith Millea]

Thanks Jan,I never got into all that Whitewater stuff.What I do know about though is how all the named timber companies operate.The US Forest Service,and BLM (Bureau of Land Management)are Federal agencies,and therefore political in nature.They are bound to Govt.statutes/plans.Thus,there were those that lived in the mountains out here in a certain district that found out that the Forest Service was not following the approved sustainable logging plan,and were overcutting.The local people took the FS to court,and actually won their case.The Forest Service was forced to stop all logging in this District for like 10 years.Amazing!


The timber companies,on the other hand own hundreds of thousands of acres of timberland,and they have little if any regulation held to them.So,what we got with these companies are whole areas clearcut.They had/have a policy of cutting as much as they can NOW,and then they pack up and leave and go to Arkansas,Georgia,or Maine etc.What's left behind is pure eco-destruction.
