| Greenspirit |  |
| Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace, has distanced himself from the environmental group he devoted much of his life to, because of his belief that many environmental groups today are more interested in taking ever-increasing extreme views to justify their existence, instead of working toward consensus building in an effort to improve the environment. He has written several books where he discusses the key issues confronting forest management today. His books are based on sound science and not emotion. This website provides many thought-provoking ideas for the person who seeks to sustain forest ecosystems and provide wood products to the people of the world. | |
