Upcoming ride for Old-Growth!!

The BC Liberal government has announced a new plan for BC's coastal forests, the "Coastal Forest Action Plan". This “Log it All” and “Export the Logs” plan places no new restrictions on the logging of Old-Growth forests, provides misleading old-growth forest statistics, and will lead to an overall increase in raw log exports.The old-growth forests of Vancouver Island are among the most

But bicycles DO fly!

Mean Automakers Dash Nation's Hope For Flying CarsIts funny the car advert that is bundled with the video, they really are trying to make people feel warm and fuzzy about the latest version of green cars, aka 'hybrid.' They even mention a bicycle in the SUV advert, as if somehow having the hybrid branding makes the private auto behemoth less detestable...McDonald's TM promoting human powered air

2007 BC Budget Consultation

The BC Provincial government has extended the deadline for its online survey to this Friday, Oct 26th, 2007.The results of these surveys are rarely made available, so the usefulness is questionable at best, since right-wing, authoritarian governments like this one just do what their funders want anyway.I'm hoping that we can throw a wrench into their plans: if we flood them with responses that
