Globally, our forests are being mismanaged and exploited. The act of harvesting lumber is tainted by many environmentalists as destructive and quite possibly the worst thing one can do to the environment.

Michelle and Lorna were beautiful, smiling girls who, like all the other women, wore black and white polka dot headscarves, black coats, and striped skirts that went down to their black shoes. They all did their hair in a centre ...
Fully loaded with fuel and determined to find warmer weather, Cloe and I made a break for the southern States. From Toronto, we were convinced that three days of driving would easily reach Florida. Once deep within the sunshine state we would continue our work shooting the documentary, educating in schools, and promoting sustainable living within the media.
