The Orwellian “Fix Our Forests” Act (more clearcutting and mature and old growth-logging under a different name) has passed the House of Representatives and is now being considered in the Senate, with Colorado’s U.S. Senator John Hickenlooper considering a companion bill.
I really hope you can take a few short minutes via this email action alert (through Eco-Integrity Alliance member group John Muir Project) to please contact your Senators and ask them to oppose this bill.
As an alternative, the action alert also gives you an opportunity support U.S. Rep. Huffman’s (D-CA) recently reintroduced Community Protection and Wildfire Resilience Act, H.R. 582, which focuses on safeguarding our neighborhoods in the only way scientifically proven to work, through home hardening and defensible space less than 100 feet around structures.
