It seems that everyone on this site shares the same goal and that is to help preserve the earth. My question is, I know there is a lot of passion on this topic.. but why all the arguments and nasty point of views? We all share the same vision… Jeesh! Get along people!!!!

your an idiot and need to go find some facts about global warming. are you for it or against it because all you write is that your mom was out gardening in the middle of january. i like to garden in the middle of january as well even when it is snowing outside and is 6o degrees outside. do you think that when we burp or fart we are putting wholes in the ozone? thats a myth and i want you to prove it since you think that we are going through global warming. go get a cup of coffee with al gore maybe he can teach you something about how penguins are going to start migrating to the united states and glaciers are going to melt. is the world going to flood in 2009? 2009 is when the mayan calendar is said to end, do you think this is true as well? I hope you put some thought into this and go read a book or two and learn to spell, or that just a sign of being a liberal? I hope you still feel as strong about this when the world doesnt end in 2009 and penguins dont start swimming up on our beaches!

swipti … RAN is what RAN is (it’s gone the direction of abandoning the grassroots and instead likes to appeal to rich people.) They love to lobby big corporations (i.e. Mistubishi, Citi, Apple … etc.) and then, get these entities to make little token changes. They then have big parties for their donors and claim a big “vicory.” It’s just how they work. But, why harrass the debutaunts they hire? The real work will be to convince the stoner-doners to take the whole organization in a different direction or to spend their money elsewhere.

Also, non-profits that focus their best energy on development are acquiescent and quite lame. It’s the “cutsified,” corporate-friendly world of activism – not to be confused with say real people doing things for themselves… oh well … just the way it is …

Courtney,
What a potty mouth. Sustainable logging of ancient forests has been shown scientifically to destroy the very biodiversity and climate values that make them unique. I am asking reasonable questions and want a resonable answer.

1.) Why does the “Rainforest Action Network” not have any rainforest campaigns or information on its front page (for some time now)?

2.) On what basis does RAN claim ancient forests can be sustainably logged?

okay, bitching and complaining how this site isn’t good enough is NOT going to help the rainforests. If you don’t like the fact that these people aren’t taking actions, why don’t you try to make a different. An effing grade 10 kid can see this before all of you so called “activists” try doing something about it yourselves.
No offense though.
And also to Switpi -> if their doing sustainable logging it’s better than clear cutting wholr rainforests it’s called compermises dumbass they can’t just stop all logging in one day.

oh, I take that back, on the left top it says you are protecting endangered forests while on the top right that you promote sustainable logging. Any contradiction there?

What is being done now. Why are there essentially no tropical rainforest conservation items anywhere on the front page?

I was going to assist you in your desire to descover all that RAN has done, but I am sure if you are sincere you can do a search in the little white box at the top left of this page. Suggested word search ‘Rainforest’
