Oh my god. The NIMBYs have become NIYBYs.

We all live on this planet. The fact that the Green Mountains are not “my” back yard or even my state and I still care to protect them from fragmentation cannot be construed as a negative.

I am pretty concerned about the Earth as a whole, and what we can do to protect what is left. I receive emails from Environment America who are a nationwide advocacy group. I thought I could bring light to this impending project to locals before it happens. With big projects such as this, once it’s approved by the governing bodies and too late to speak out, everyone says “what could we have done to stop it?” It’s helpful to know this is happening. You can certainly decide for yourself whether or not you support it. Note that the proposed plan is not manifesting from individuals in the local Vermont forestry sector, it’s a federal government plan, and this is not logging as you’re used to, it’s clear-cutting and creating a road/tele services through the clear cut area. Once that starts, it won’t stop.
