The Wildfire Refugee Fund
from Green Root Podcast Hosted by greenrootpodcast
On episode 139 of the Green Root Podcast (the official podcast of Eco-Integrity Alliance), host Josh Schlossberg shares his solution for dealing with those destroying the American Western landscape by whipping up wildfire hysteria to siphon billions in tax dollars towards scientifically-debunked “fuel reduction” logging. Josh talks about: -Colorado’s Prop 137, which would siphon $175 million per year in taxpayer dollars, half of which would finance up to 25,000 annual acres of industrial logging; -How industry, government, politicians, NGOs, and media have colluded to promote disinformation and silence criticism to push clearcutting and mature and old-growth tree logging across Roadless Areas, endangered species habitat, and old-growth forests; -A solution for mountain and forest edge residents who are so afraid of wildfire that they’ve been duped by vested interests into cheerleading the degradation and destruction of the Western landscape they claim to love instead of actually protecting their homes and lives through home hardening. The mission of Eco-Integrity Alliance (eco-integrityalliance.org) is to unite U.S. grassroots ecosystem advocates through common campaigns of mutual support.
