the best way to protect old growth forests is to…leave them alone. Alexis Marie Adams’ fine piece is centered on Montana’s Yaak Valley, where old friend Rick Bass is leading efforts to fight off the Black Ram timber sale by the Forest Service scientificamerican.com/article/can-fo…
@janevandis The best way to protect old growth forests is to reduce the consumption of everything, but without logging, how will we build the 6 million homes we're short in America? Are we saying others don't deserve a home? It's a conundrum 🤨 academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/arti…
@iJakeReyna @janevandis @BarnardPhoebe Why do you think you have to cut down forests to provide 6 million homes? There’s 1,000’s of vacant buildings that are already standing and could be an adapted- and many, many ‘McMansions’ that could easily house 2 or 3 families! We need more creativity to solve problems!
@SaintPalermo @janevandis @BarnardPhoebe Saint, show me some data that converting vacant buildings is a solution. Wishful thinking isn't a solution. Get informed. habitat.org/costofhome/202…
