$5 · THE GREEN CHAIN: NOTHING IS EVER CLEAR CUT

THE GREEN CHAIN: NOTHING IS EVER CLEAR CUT by Mark Leiren-Young Paperback, 2009, 264 pages The Green Chain looks at the past, present and future of forestry through interviews with environmentalists, loggers, scientists and others. Raw log exports, environmental devastation, making a living . . . all are discussed in this exploration of the problems facing our forests, and the possible solutions. It's an emotional topic, especially in British Columbia, where Greenpeace and the Raging Grannies were born but where the economy has been fuelled largely by forestry. Both the logging industry and the environmental movement are facing unprecedented challenges, and the world is watching to see how BC and Canada respond. Mark discusses the topic with 22 eloquent, knowledgeable and passionate people See pictures Pickup in Langford Cross posted
