We Save Trees activists have risen up again! A treesit has been set up in a massive tree in the Bonanza THP near Scotia! In the middle of the night, friendly climbers scaled the Gigantic tree, and set ropes and living quarters, in order to occupy the tree so it wont be cut. This area is adjacent to an older treesit village in a virgin redwood grove, that was clearcut in late 2002. The area is inhabitted by endangered seabirds called Marbled Murrelets. The logging plan, called “Bonanza”,is 249 acres. 192 acres are occupied stands for the murrelet.The Bonanza harvest plan contains the largest unprotected, contiguous, occupied marbled murrelet stand left on Maxxam/PL's land. We Save Trees desperately needs your help to protect this ancient tree and the surrounding oldgrowth forest! Call us if you can Help! Phone Number is in the movie! And Please, Tell your friends, and/or send out an email to folks you know, with the link to the movie. Thank You! May the Forest Be With You!

Critical Mass 13
Originally uploaded by renegade.

For a Lucky 13 years Critical Mass has been riding strong and spreading "Whose Streets? Our Streets!" across the globe every last friday of the month. CM is a combination celebration and protest, promoting an affordable, eco-friendly means of transportation and enjoyment. Unfortunately, NYC Critical Mass has suffered intense static from the NYPD since the RNC, resulting in mass arrests and harrassment during rides and confiscation of bicycles.

Ancient Forests Under Attack!

In Defense of the Forest

The Big Ones

Humboldt County, CA
The last remaining privately owned Oldgrowth Redwood forests are being destroyed by greedy Industrial Timber Corporations.

Rampant clearcutting and steep slope logging have taken an extremely heavy toll on the steep slopes of the North Coast, yet the cutting continues. When will this disregard for our environment and essentially ourselves continue. Without healthy forests, we cannot have a healthy world, and therefore caonnot live on it indefinately. We must Rise Up, and take the forest back, in solidarity with Forest Defenders worldwide and take back what is Most important to us, the Land.
Humboldt Forest Defenders needs more Hardcore Forest Defenders to take up their positions in the Ancient Forest Canopy.

The Pacific Lumber Company, has filed plans to log some 65 acres of Oldgrowth Redwoods, directy adjacent to both U.S. Highway 101, and Humboldt Redwoods State Park. The Timber Harvest Plan (THP) is just South of Bear Creek, on the West side of the freeway, near the small towns of Redcrest and Shively. Many people assume it is part of the Avenue of the Giants, because of the massive size and heigth of the trees! The area is home to endangered epecies, including the Marbled Murrlet, a tiny rare seabird, and the Spotted Owl. Excessive logging has been a major factor in the decline of these species.

Please contact We Save Trees to learn more about Ancient Forest Destruction, and what you can do to stop it!

May the Forest Be With You!

5 1/4 is a film that I made with a great group of friends for the 48 Hour Film Project 2003. We randomly chose "mocumentary" as our genre. Additionally, everyone in the contest had to use a brick as a prop, the character Jordan Mooney, and the line of dialog, "Excuse me, I think I love you." We won the audience award, best script, and best use of the prop.
