Forest Ethics Advocacy is sponsoring this competition

Got talent? The Great Bear Rainforest needs you to participate in our 'Great Bear's Got Talent' contest! The winner gets an all-expense paid trip for two from Vancouver into the Great Bear Rainforest.

ForestEthics Solutions is working with Greenpeace and Sierra Club BC to raise awareness about the Great Bear Rainforest - home to thriving schools of salmon, grizzly bears, coastal gray wolves, bald eagles and iconic species like the white Spirit Bear. An outpouring of public support will inspire the provincial government and other organizations to complete the forest safeguards the Great Bear needs to survive and thrive.

How it works: You create an artful and stirring homage to this majestic rainforest and enter it in the contest. 

Your tribute can be anything: song, dance, painting, animation, or any other art form. It just needs to celebrate the magic of the Great Bear Rainforest to qualify. You can also participate by voting for the winning piece.

Abandoned Oil Pipelines What Lurks Below?

Image
These photos were taken July 2012 in the historic Turner Valley, Alberta B. McPherson Controversy over new oil pipelines is reaching boiling point in many circles. Heated debate is taking place over the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway and Keystone Pipeline proposals. Safety, disruption to landowners  and more are being weighed against the money to be made transporting and selling petroleum products. It got me thinking about the old pipelines. What happens to a pipeline when it is too old to use or not needed? It’s a bit of an Alice in Wonderland scene. The US laws and regulations are different from ours in Canada. The Pipeline and Gas Journal is a source of information about abandoned pipelines in Texas. Apparently a pipeline in Texas may be abandoned by a company, but it still retains ownership and may choose to reactivate the line at a later date. In the meantime, the right of way or easement is no longer maintained, but the through which the pipe extends is not ...

Prince Rupert Says No to Enbridge Pipeline

Image
B. McPherson Prince Rupert city council joined a growing list of BC coastal communities that are saying “No” to the Enbridge proposal to build a twinned pipeline from Edmonton to the coast. The decision of the Prince Rupert city politicians was unanimous. Already the village of Kitimaat, Terrace and the Skeena Queen Charlottes Regional District have voiced their opposition to the project. There are ongoing hearings by a federal court appointed Joint Review Panel which are gathering input from interested parties about the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline which would bring crude petroleum from the oil sands of Alberta to the coast of British Columbia. The proposal would see a twinned pipeline run over the Rocky Mountains and through wilderness to the treacherous west coast. The proposed terminus at Kitimat would require tankers to wend their way through the maze of islands and reefs to load up at the head of Douglas Channel. While the hearings and the finding...

Rising Seas Expose WWII Skeletons

Image
Their South Pacific paradise is disappearing under the waves. B. McPherson As Europe is recognizing the 70 th year since D-Day, the successful establishment of a beachhead on France’s beaches by Allied Forces, a macabre scene is playing out in the Pacific Ocean. Rising sea levels in the South Pacific have washed away soil covering graves of 26 soldiers believed to be Japanese. The Marshall Islands were the scene of fierce fighting in the Pacific Theatre during WWII. Experts will attempt to confirm and return the remains to their country of origin. Sea level increases have been more pronounced in the tropical areas, and the S. Pacific islands have been hard hit in some areas. An island in the Marshalls, is now underwater. Some of the S. Pacific islands are based on coral atolls and have very little elevation. Others, more fortunate, are the peaks of volcanoes and have higher ground. The Marshalls have an average elevation of only 2 metres(7ft). Sea levels are creeping ...
