The GREEN CHAIN: Nothing is Ever Clear Cut
The GREEN CHAIN: Nothing is Ever Clear Cut (Heritage House $17.95)
ISBN 978-1-894974-89-9
Raw log exports, environmental devastation, making a living ... all are discussed in this exploration of the past, present and future of forestry.
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 Canada responds.
Leiren-Young discusses the problems and their possible solutions with 22 eloquent, passionate people, including:
· ForestEthics and PowerUP Canada founder Tzeporah Berman;
· activist Severn Cullis-Suzuki;
· author John Vaillant (The Golden Spruce);
· Forest Products Association of Canada president and CEO Avrim Lazar;
· union spokesman Wade Fisher.
Their perspectives show why the battles over forests are so fascinating, and may serve as inspiration for us all to conserve, respect and treasure resource.
The Green Chain also includes the screenplay for Leiren-Young's award-winning film of the same name.
