British Columbia: Tell Forest Ethics: Real enviros go to the people, not to the logging companies

If you’re anywhere near Vancouver, British Columbia on Tues. Jan. 20
and you can make it to University of British Columbia’s Ecosystem Lab
at 2202 Main Mall Room 120, at 12:15pm you’ll have a chance to get
Merran Smith of Forest Ethics to answer to: 1) Why Forest Ethics
doesn’t fight for transperency, 2) Why Forest Ethics refuses to speak
out / organize a public campaign every time the timber industry and
government abandon regulations proven to succeed in protecting
forests, and 3) Why Forest Ethics actions and reactions towards the
greater environmental community does more to divide than it does to
unite? –Editor, Forest Policy Research

Fake Environmentalists trade in faith and they regularly announce
impending miraculous achievements. (See flyer below) The public might
accidentally think Merran Smith is an environmentalist rather than an
iconically successful invention of the media, advertising and public
relations businesses. She was once a credible forest defender but now
she’s ascended to stardom, or perhaps more accurately she’s decended?
She’s become a trend setter in the wrong direction!

And because of her
groundbreaking “consensus” work corporate environmental problems can
now be easiely addressed with simulated activism and ersatz
environmentalism, which apparently cannot be immediately distinguished
from the real coin even by other environmentalists except through
decades of longitudinal observation of its dearth of bogus
announcements of impending / promised success.
