lorne, I really wasn't referring to pulp, but am surprised that US interests are dabbling around in Canadian business. One thing about pulp, if people will take on the easy task of recycling paper, and cardboard, the products of pulp can be used over, and over. It might be difficult to convince less advanced nations of the need to be a bit more careful in the use of their resources, because we have not yet cleaned up our own house. Efforts are being made, and some progress has been made in decreasing the waste of lumber, and other, operations. From what I have read, and seen in documentaries, the Brazilians do not have a market for the bulk of the trees they cut down in the Amazon rain forest, and just pile them up an burn them to make room for whatever agricultural endeavor they have in mind. I have, also, seen satellite photos of the fires burning, which are amazingly large from that distance. I believe there has been some comment by the shuttle astronauts about the fires too. I'm glad to hear about the pow wow between Canadian, and US, oil men. Let us hope all the talk pans out, and an agreement can be made for the benefit of both nations. Will be gone for most of the rest of the day. Will check in later.
