>The logging companies want to cut down as much as they can as soon as they
>can before the public finally forces our legislators to force these
>companies to pay the true value of the wood they remove. Besides, they
>know that ultimately their market will decline in favor of better plants
>that can be used for paper and lumber. Be proactive for your heritage.

>Only 4% of America's old growth forests remain.

>Second only to clear cutting, building logging roads in our forests is the
>most destructive force in our forests today.  The U.S. Forest Service has
>built more than 400,000 miles of roads in our National Forests with our
>tax dollars -- enough to circle the planet 15 times. These roads destroy
>habitat for endangered species, cause erosion, water pollution, and allow
>the timber and mining industries free access to our few remaining
>untouched National Forests.
>
>Right now, we have an unprecedented chance to force the Clinton
>Administration to protect our few remaining old growth forests from roads,
>logging, mining and other destruction.  Please take a minute to sign below
>and send this on to at least five friends.

>Dear Vice President Gore,
>
>Right now, the Forest Service is developing a policy that will determine
>the future of the last unprotected wilderness areas in our National
>Forests.  The proposed policy is riddled with loopholes, endangering
>nearly half of these roadless areas.  I urge you to direct the Forest
>Service to develop a strong roadless policy for ALL of our National
>Forests so that we pass our forest heritage on to future generations.
>
> Protect all roadless areas greater that 1,000 acres;
> Defend roadless areas from logging, mineral, oil and gas development; and
> Include all of our National Forests, especially forests in the Pacific
>Northwest and Alaska.

>Sincerely,
