World Spirit Reflections and Updates

As a taxpayer in America, I am furious that my tax dollars are funding projects that plan to wipe out our National Forests for the profits of big oil, mining, timber and real estate executives.

Stop the sale of America's national heritage!>>

Imagine a country where national parks are no longer, and all we have to experience natural beauty is a 300 square-foot neighborhood park covered in tan bark. At the rate this administration is planning to bulldoze, this is not so far from reality.

Plans to cut down trees also completely ignore the lives or well-being of the wildlife that call these forests home. Many threatened and endangered species are on the brink of being wiped out due to reckless deforestation plans.

And if that wasn't enough, these plans also disregard the health and everyday needs of local communities. For example, The Forest Service proposed to fill up to 5,500 logging trucks with trees from the Daniel Boone National Forest - even though it will damage the water supply for more than 80,000 Kentuckians.

Tell Senator Reid and Speaker Pelosi that you will not part with your National Forests without a fight.>>

The National Forests in Idaho is the largest pristine wild forest slower 48 states. It is the only place where nearly all of the wildlife species that characterize the Northern Rockies can still be found.

Tell the Forest Service to Keep Idaho's Wild Lands Pristine>>

The state of Idaho contains over 9.3 million acres roadless national forest lands - the most of any state outside of Alaska. And these roadless areas are of national and global significance. The variety of landscapes represented by these roadless lands is unmatched by any other state outside of Alaska.

The new rules the Forest Service wants will destroy these wild forests with commercial logging, mining, and road-building.

This is the first time that the Idaho Roadless Plan has been presented to the American public for consideration and it's also the first time that comments have been requested at the national level for a rulemaking specific to Idaho's roadless areas.

But we only have until May 10th to express our outrage on their plans for opening these lands to exploitation.

Save Idaho's wild forests from exploitation from logging and mining>> http://go.care2.com/e/R9fz/HZr5/U1cM

Idaho forests are being threatened by commercial logging, mining and road-building.

We have until May 10 to tell the Forest Service that we want Idaho's wild forests protected!
