A really important "environmental" issue right now is being overshadowed by the current "popularity" of global warming topics.... If you care; start small NOW.... Get together and SAVE the gualala from the grape growers that want to CLEAR CUT a natural headwater's that's supposed to be federally protected wilderness..... If you want to do something over and over to stop global warming, stop the industrial rape of the land; the wasted energy on generating revenue, live from the fruit of the land, not the ROOT...

All they want to do is pilfer a beautifull "all natural" environment, and destroy an unmanipulated free flowing all natural river system that should be a national treasure and national protected area..... There aren't many like it left!!!! Doesn't napa make enough wine? maybe prohibition is the beginning of the end of the "LURE OF THE DOLLAR" that wine makers provide to grape growers.... These river/watershed systems are the life blood of the global environment; the "SOURCE" of life revolves around the forrests and waters and the cleanlyness of the water that flows through the rivers, the forrests are "filters" to trap silt and prevent the rivers from choking to death on mud... They plan to cut down tree's sell the wood, put in grape vines and make money off the grapes by selling them to wine makers, that make alcoholic beverages, many of which will be involved in "teenage auto accidents" resulting in deaths..... Don't let the qualala turn into napa.
