| "The world is in great danger. When trees die, the Earth dies. We will be orphans without a home, lost in the chaos of the storm." ~Kayapo chief Tacuma "We can no longer plead ignorance...

Empires from the beginning of civilization to the present have expanded to acquire wood supplies for shipbuilding and fuel for industry, and have collapsed when those wood supplies were depleted." ~Derrick Jensen & George Draffan Strangely Like War: the Global Assault on Forests |
