Aldur Fuller's presentation)
California's AB32, The Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Nuñez/Pavley) passed the Legislature on August 31st after the bill’s authors, Asm. Fran Pavley and Asm. Speaker Fabian Nuñez, and Senate
President Don Perata, announced they had reached an agreement with Gov. Schwarzenegger on the landmark law. In June 2005, Gov. Schwarzenegger issued an executive order that established a target for reducing global warming
pollution to 1990 levels by 2020, and 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050..

Clearcutting is directly linked to global warming through multiple sources of emissions (clearing, earthworks, soil erosion, slash burning, herbicide spraying, cloud formation, etc).
Demand that all levels of state government fight global warming. Demand that CDF halt clearcutting and begin reviewing timber operations with future generations of humans and wildlife as a priority.
Go to the Forest Ethics website and become part of the statewide campaign against SPI's clearcutting.

UNDERSTAND
YOUR PAPER IMPACT: |
There's no doubt that SPI is a company that practices destruction on a much larger scale than any other company, but ultimately, we as consumers have to make changes in how much we use. The fact is that companies will
make things as long as we buy them, and will not if we won't. That's our only power.
Paper facts: Annual Global Deforestation= over 26 million acres That= 50 acres
of forest being cut, every minute of every day 50% of wood cut is made into paper
1 billion pieces of junk mail delivered a year in US (1/3 of all in world)
What
you
can do TODAY: Call catalog companies and ask to be taken off their mailing list; Buy 100% recycled paper for your printing needs; Print on both sides of paper; Ask your workplace to use recycled paper; Recycle
your waste paper. |
