The Narwhal (www.thenarwhal.ca) is covering incredible stories on Canadian Society many of which are about the environment and Global Climate Change. The Narwhal is ad-free non-profit journalism. If The Narwhal's articles were daily headline news... we would see positive, meaningful change happen very fast in Canada.
The article on BC opening the Sunshine Coast forest to logging is very informative: https://thenarwhal.ca/bc-opens-sunshine-coast-forest-logging/
There are trees in this forest that may be 1,800+ years old!
I thought "there is no way in 2020 that we would be logging an old growth forest in BC", but unfortunately we don't have proper laws in place in British Columbia Canada to protect the environment... since common sense and ethics isn't enough.

All of this is going on today while British Columbia's most well known city, Vancouver, claims to be the greenest city in the world by 2020... as an oil tanker rolls by from one of the Burnaby oil terminals.

The very things that make BC beautiful are being sold out for short term profit by government and private industries at the expense of nature. Our ancient forests and our clean waters.

The time is now to make changes to keep BC, Canada beautiful for future generations.
