[BCFSN] [IFS] FW: wanted to share

Wed Jul 29 14:46:11 EDT 2015

Hi all

I'm thinking the Fraser basin group is a 'poor cousin' to the Columbia
basin group - however perhaps the Northern Development Trust??

And - if we were to 'think this through' - we are going to see the water
levels continue to drop as the forests burn or cut and lie on their sides
in storage yards rather than being allowed to 'do their job' of slowly
releasing the water into the creeks and oceans as the seasons pass.....

This is a huge huge issue - time for the ppl to wake up and realize that we
humans simply can't do anything without nature!  In nature there is
co-dependency - there one species helps/relies on the other.... we humans
are not apart from this need - now - how to get the message out to the
policy makers and all people ( regardless of the 'current policy') that we
simply have to 'put the breaks on' and re-assess our greed and perceived
needs..... both personally and as a species.
