Funny environmental news

In environmental news only slightly more funny than the Bush administration releasing a report that says "Global warming is a serious problem, but we don't actually propose doing anything about it" (see Reuters articles on the report and Bush's response)... For years, Weyerhaeuser's forestry practices have a bad rep within the industry. But now, their own employees are speaking out against them, and organizing a wildcat strike. (See Seattle P-I article.) This is pretty cool, to see timber workers and native people working together for sustainable forestry practices.
