Forests news, articles and information:

Food Forests - Design modern solutions from ancient traditions

7/15/2011 - The human practice of growing food from and amongst the trees goes back millennia. There are examples of food forests, or forest gardens, in Vietnam and Morocco stretching back hundreds and thousands of years respectively. Much of the east coast of North America was managed this way by the native peoples...

Forest density study blows hole in excess CO2 myth and the supposed need for carbon taxes

7/4/2011 - We have all heard it before. Humans are supposedly producing too much carbon dioxide (CO2), which is contributing to "global warming" -- and the only solution, of course, is to have the United Nations (UN) distribute carbon use credits and implement carbon taxes to offset an impending global disaster....

The Xtremes: Subversive recipes for catastrophic times

5/9/2011 - In just a few short months, we've witnessed people power in action. From the Middle East to the Midwest, movements have risen up to overturn tired dogma and challenge entrenched power. Many of us were inspired by these events. And many of us were surprised. Perhaps we were growing skeptical that people...

Top palm oil supplier pledges no more deforestation

2/26/2011 - After making several promises in previous years and breaking them, Indonesia' largest supplier of palm oil, Sinar Mas, has once again made a promise, this time to stop clear-cutting delicate forests and peatlands in order to set up palm oil plantations in Indonesia. The company has received much scrutiny...

Food bubble collapse threatens survival of human civilization

1/18/2011 - The following article originally ran on NaturalNews in 2008 but was shifted over to Counterthink.com which ultimately got replaced with political cartoons. In light of today's sudden attention on the food bubble and the possible collapse of human civilization as described by author and environmentalist...

Humans vs. the environment - A thought experiment

6/23/2010 - Protecting the environment isn't a "liberal" idea; it's everybody's business. Liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican, the environment provides life support for us all, and if we fail to recognize that, we are truly doomed as a civilization. To help explain this, I've put together a simple...

Luxury Toilet Paper a Threat to the Environment?

2/19/2010 - Environmentalists are increasingly calling attention to an often overlooked threat to the world's forests and climate: the U.S. preference for toilet paper that is as soft as possible. While toilet paper made from recycled fibers makes up 75 percent of the U.S. "away from home" market (places like...

More CO2 in the atmosphere leads to accelerated growth of certain tree species

12/21/2009 - Scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Minnesota at Morris have found that increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide have led to the rapid growth of certain tree species. The quaking aspen, a popular North America deciduous tree, has seen a 50 percent acceleration...

Americans Wipe Their Butts with Non-Renewable Trees

7/15/2009 - Environmentalists are increasingly pushing for people in the United States to change their toilet paper buying habits, in recognition of the fact that the soft, fluffy toilet paper widely preferred in the United States for home use can only be made by logging wild forests throughout the Western Hemisphere. "No...

The Cancer and Disease Fighting Plants of the Rainforest

9/5/2008 - One of my all time favorite websites is Dr. Leslie Taylor`s Rain-tree.com and my favorite section of the website is the plant database she has painstakingly compiled. It is a database of the many plants and herbs used by indigenous peoples of the Brazilian and South American rain forests and it has...

Choosing Natural Cork Wine Bottles Is an Environmentally Friendly Choice

6/7/2008 - The fear is real and the worries valid when we hear that 2 million tons of oil derived plastic bottles were dumped this year in landfills. As an aside, add to that environmental nugget the fact that we drank water and other liquids from those very same bottles which had possibly leached deadly, toxic...

Eating for Consciousness and Vitality Is Also Eating for the Planet

4/28/2008 - Our health and vitality was described by the ancient sages of China as having a single major source -- our 'essence.' This essence is thought to be the rich substance that life springs from. We can think of it as the powerful substances at our core: bone marrow, sperm and reproductive fluids, and the...

The Biofuels Scam, Food Shortages and the Coming Collapse of the Human Population

4/23/2008 - It was one of the dumbest "green" ideas ever proposed: Convert millions of acres of cropland into fields for growing ethanol from corn, then burn fossil fuels to harvest the ethanol, expending more energy to extract the fuel than you get from the fuel itself! Meanwhile, sit back and proclaim you've...

China's new biofuels project may level forests to make way for "clean" energy farming

8/24/2007 - The rapid expansion of the Chinese biofuels industry, along with the government's stated plans to convert huge swaths of forest into biofuels plantations, has many environmentalists worried for southwest China's unique ecologies. In January, China's State Forestry Administration (SFA) announced an...

Report: Global deforestation finally being reversed in some countries

11/16/2006 - An analysis of the world's forests -- published in the Tuesday edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences -- has shown that an increasing number of countries are reversing the trend toward deforestation. "From the new data, it seems possible that we could reverse a global trend...

Many seeds need smoke in order to sprout; forest fires are necessary

7/12/2004 - New research is revealing how plant seeds depend on smoke and even heat from fires to get them to sprout. It's a smart strategy for the seed, of course: smoke comes from fires, and fires mean that the soil is probably fertile with new ash. Plus, if weeds and grass have been burned to the ground, a new...
