>>Tasmania is the island state of Australia. We are also >>the smallest state and currently woodchip more than >>the rest of Australia combined. The largest >>woodchipping company in the southern hemisphere is >>based here and has its grip on all the old growth >>forests that are left as well as having the support of >>the state and federal government. Tasmania is unique, >>beautiful and in need of world wide support to end the >>logging in our old growth forests. The price of >>woodchip is under $10AUD a tonne. For what was once a >>magnificent forset tree with potential for craftsmen >>who are not even allowed to buy the timber and yet >>would be paying so much more. Our foresrty practices >>are a joke and it wont cease till there are no old >>growth forests left. The industry runs at a loss and >>has done for years and is not sustainable, to preserve >>our forest for ecotourism would create more jobs now >>and for the future and keep what remaining forests we >>have intact. Please help our plight and email the >>Australian prime minister with your concerns as well >>as the premier of Tasmania, Jim Bacon and his henchman >>deputy Paul Lennon. We are at a critical point, to see >>hundreds and hundreds of log trucks on a daily basis, >>day in day out is devastating and depressing. We are >>losing our natural heritage because of a greedy >>company making deals in Japan to fulfill woodchip >>export quotas. It is sickening and disheartening but >>please take a little time to email our prime minister, >>John Howard and our premier. Our state government has >>made noises about ending the woodchipping of old >>growth forests in 10 years, it will all be gone at the >>end of 3years or less. To fly over the state in a >>plane and view the destruction makes you cry. The >>forestry practices are to dynamite old habitat trees, >>to clear fell everything, to pile up and burn all >>remaining timber which could be used for fire wood for >>heating, so no-one gets to use it. To have mountains >>of unused saw-dust. To drop napalm and then poison our >>native animals with 1080 poison, herbicide the area >>and then plant a non-indigenous monoculture and have >>it locked away for the next 20 years.Our roads are >>ruined, they place 'scenic walkways' in small patches >>of forest to showcase their environmental policies yet >>a walk less than 50 metres away and you are in clear >>fell devastation. The water catchment areas are >>polluted, the small creeks and rivulets are drying up, >>we have widespread erosion....it goes on and on, and >>to top it off we are building a massive wood-burning >>power station in the back yard of our forests under >>the greatest hole in the ozone layer on earth. Please >>help us stop this madness.
