DESCRIPTION:Just to give everyone an update, we are doing this campaign to save the 
 Sierra Nevada because the Sierra is crucial to all of us here in 
 California.\n\nNot only do we get 60% of our drinking water from there, but 
 half of the state's plants and animals live there as well.  But Sierra 
 Pacific Industries has been clear-cutting the Sierra Nevada forests at 
 alarming rates.  They have already clear-cut hundreds of thousands of acres 
 and have plans to cut over 1 million more.\n\nWe know that the main reason 
 that SPI is able to continue doing this is because people just aren't aware 
 that it is happening, and the businesses that buy their wood are asking 
 them to change.  So we are going to change that.  We are going to spread 
 the word about what SPI is doing to the Sierra Nevada and convince them to 
 change their practices. There are three main ways we will do this here in 
 the area:\n1) Recruiting more people and getting them aware and involved in 
 the campaign \n2) Business outreach- getting local  businesses to sign a 
 letter saying they want more sustainable forest practices\n3) 
 Protests/Actions- to get the media and SPI's attention to let them know 
 what we want\n\nThat brings me to our first protest this coming 
 Saturday!\n\nCome out and help us tell Sierra Pacific Industries: We want\n 
 responsible logging, not clear-cutting!\n\nThis protest will be a great 
 opportunity to get involved and active in the campaign.  Just to let 
 everyone know, New Home Building Supply is a known seller of SPI wood- and 
 even though this will not be a protest against them, it will be a great way 
 to let SPI know we are here and want them to change.\n\nI strongly invite 
 anyone interested to come out and join this event, it will be a great 
 experience and a lot of fun.  Please contact me (via phone or email) so I 
 can get a sense of how many people will be participating, or if you have 
 any questions.  I also encourage anyone who wants to learn more about this 
 campaign to contact me so we can set up a meeting to talk about it.\n
