Help Save 5 Million Acres of Rainforest | Alan Forrest Smith

Help Save 5 Million Acres of Rainforest | Alan Forrest Smith

By Viola Woolcott

It saddens me that when it comes to making money people have no limits to what they will do, as if enough rainforest hasn’t been, and is being, destroyed already. What needs to happen for people to wake up? Its all well and good putting carbon taxes on things like flying, but what are they gonna do with all that extra tax money? Give it to mother earth and apologise? A funny analogy, but the scene in Titanic always springs to mind when the ‘bad guy’ tries to buy his way on to a boat to be rescued and is bluntly told that all the money in the world cant save him now…

The Achuar people are the natural custodians of over two million acres of the most beautiful, untouched rainforest on planet earth today. The Achuar need our help to protect their remote virgin rainforest the oil industry seeks to destroy. Just over 5,000 inhabitants (plus 4 other groups) in a land that is 5 Million acres in size. These people are asking YOU to help them. It’s urgent you respond right away. …read more here

I was already aware that so called eco, organic, green, natural products etc are often full of ‘crap’, so reading this article came as no surprise. Personally, I only use Products of Mistry’s, for me and my daughter, and I also converted my mum to this product line after making her privy to what was really in all the apparently ‘good for you and good for the environment products’…

“New tests of 100 “natural” and “organic” soaps, shampoos and other consumer products show that nearly half of them contained a cancer-causing chemical that is a byproduct of petrochemicals used in manufacturing.”

Deforestation of the Worlds Rainforests

Deforestation of the Worlds Rainforests

By Ina Woolcott

The sad reality about deforestation… at this present time 12 million hectares are cleared annually. Human forest dwellers are losing their home, shelter and the animals and plants that sustain them. When the land is cleared, there is less rainfall and the once harmonious ecosystem is out of sync.

It is incomprehensible that human beings with good conscience and intentions would even agree to pick up a chainsaw and cut down the earths lungs on a mass scale. Perhaps their souls and conscience are easily sold for money. This is not right though and should not be allowed.

Mountaintop Removal | Toxic West Virginia

Mountaintop Removal | Toxic West Virginia

This is an amazing MUST WATCH video!


Meredith Danluck is a New York artist, director, and all-around amazing person who has a killer collection of power tools.
VBS bumped into her a few months ago and discovered that she has been working on a film in West Virginia, a sort of impressionistic account of the current environmental catastrophe in the Appalachian Mountains.

Mining companies are destroying entire mountains in order to get at the coal inside them. Quickly and efficiently, the oldest mountain range in the world is being systematically obliterated. We sent Meredith and VBS correspondent Derrick Beckles to the hills and hollers of West Virginia to show us what the end of the world looks like.
