Timber is a valuable resource, and the logging is not creating usable long term items, it's going in to chips that are being turned in to low grade papers, nappies and low grade timber for homes. Isnt the home market booming atm... so lots of need there. NOT. Look, the timber industry has had its day, and the rest of the world has moved on. Re-skill, or value add. The same must eventually occur in our mining industries. It's not sustainable, and pretty stupid when all the jobs are created elsewhere. - and b4 you jump down my throat and say she's causing job losses, no she aint. You honestly can say that when they show those massive stumps in Canada and NZ where these massive trees once stood doesnt tuen your stomach? Such a waste, and for what? Spike Milligan wrote a cool poem about this - "I am five feet and eleven inches tall. When I sit down on my chair, I am only four feet and 2 inches tall. Did they really chop down a one hundred foot tall tree just to make me feel small?" Sustainable, fast growth forrests, not the big ol' buggers. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 16854076 Australia 07/29/2012 08:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Some of these trees that Miranda has dedicated herself to saving need ten people to hold hands around the trunk to hug one of these majestic centuries old specimens. We don't need you to care about us 'tree hugging Aussies'. We need you to care about the remaining pure wilderness anywhere on our planet that corporations are hell-bent on destroying. C'mon, have you even made the effort to read her blogs. What she is doing is almost beyond belief. Inspirational! No matter how you look at it. No matter what you say this bitch is nasty piece of tree hugging trash. She kills peoples lively hood and takes food out of peoples mouth. You are typical "censoring" communist So much hate for tree huggers? I'm guessing you're using the term Tree Huggers in a derogatory way but physically hugging a tree and feeling it's energy can be a beautiful experience. Especially hugging a very , very old tree is like hugging a Great-Great Grandparent. You should try it some time. How about the livelihood of the folk in the Tourism industry in Tasmania. How many tourists do you think will go down to see a barren wasteland? And if you're the poster who's post I deleted, that sort of language isn't acceptable here. What are you a communist? Censoring based on what YOU think is acceptable language. Who made you God that you can determine what is acceptable language on a website you do not even own? And yeah don't start the "my thread" bullshit. You do not own GLP and the owners certainly allow anything in that department. Look at other threads. What ever happened to "Freedom speech". Censoring is cowardly in any capacity. So if you censor this what does it make you? Yeah starts with a C. Get it hippie? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 20567342 Australia 07/30/2012 06:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't reckon tree-sitting is the most effective form of protest, but I'm sure she's getting lots of street cred with her greenie mates and she'll probably even remain a minor celebrity within the green community for a few months after she comes down. Having hinted that her protest is littke more than an indulgent wank, I say good for her regardless. Here's what happens when people cut down all their trees willy-nilly - [link to www.eco-action.org] From enlightened society to cannibalistic Mad Max world in just a few generations. If we're gonna have fanatical profit-at-all-costs corporate types targeting our natural resources, then it's only fair that we have fanatical protect-the-environment-at-all-costs tree sitters and their communist lesbian support networks to combat them. It's called balance, people. |

If you check out her Daily Blog, Day 180, you'll see that her Mother made the 60 metre journey up the tree to visit.
