Could Tulsa be North America's Next Vancouver?

Exactly that same forest wreckage patch work can be seen from Google Earth in northern California, Oregon, and Washington.  Clear cut is the reason, not just lumbering.

LandArch,
There used to be a ton of us who felt much the same way - that's why there IS an EPA, gutted though it is.  And OSHA.  And myriad legacy ideas, that while in tatters now are still pretty much what was once a force in this country.  Most of us were pissing against the wind for so long that after a while we just got tired.  And life happens.  Kids take up your time/energy.  Washers and dryers look REAL good after years of laundromat.  Mowing grass still sucks, but that is the price you gotta pay to get the ice-in-the-door refrigerator and a garbage disposer.  No rental hovel I ever was in had any of those things.  The house does.

So all those early 'hippies' just sat down, got fat, and watch The View or Oprah.  "Revolution" is a young persons game and the power/money of big oil, big lumber, big this, big that, and everything else just slowly wore it away.  Good luck on your new adventure!  Trust me, I will continue to pitch-a-grumble about just about anything AND everything in support of your efforts.  And perhaps against from time to time.
