When you put something in the trash, what are you really throwing away?
Published by Seamus Ford July 23rd, 2008 in Wilderness, Trees, Activism, Water Ecology, Commentary.It is often said that forests are renewable resources. While this is technically true, it is not unconditional.
The massive efficiencies that we have been able to create in developing our modern society are truly amazing. But meeting the demands of an ever increasing population is putting a burden on the natural environment (on which we are completely dependent) that is unprecedented. This video is not about the big-bad companies that exploit the natural environment, it is about you and me and our role in that exploitation. I recently went to cut firewood with author and naturalist Jeff Hinich and got a very strong reminder of this.
The convenience of modern life comes at a cost and there are many things you can do to change it.
