Greenspirit.
http://www.greenspirit.com
With logical argument based on facts and science, Patrick Moore demonstrates that rather than reducing our consumption of wood, we should be planting more trees and using more renewable wood in order to reduce our reliance on non-renewable fuels and materials. By linking forests, biodiversity conservation, and climate change into a unified understanding of the global environment he shows that the apparent logic of saving the forests by cutting fewer trees and using less wood is actually an anti-environmental proposition.

The Temperate Forest Foundation.
http://www.forestinfo.org
Through public education the Foundation helps people move toward the positive vision of living sustainably, with the successful integration of economic, ecological, and social needs. We must take from life to live, but we must also put something back. Forest, trees and wood will continue to play a vital role in supporting human populations and quality of life on thi s planet. The responsible consumption and production of natural resources go hand-in-hand.
