Trees & Forests
Trees & Forests is a eight week course that explores the many benefits and wonders of our trees and forests, as well as the threats they face.
In the course Trees & Forests, we systematically study the benefits of forests and the threats they face. We will see that many of the threats to our forests come from misguided projects that purport to be “clean” and “renewable” and therefore receive support from environmentalists who have not taken the time to look behind the veil of industrial fiction. For example, in the southern United States, we are losing forests to the biomass industry, which is more polluting and carbon emitting than coal.
The good news is that knowledge is power. And much of the damage is by our public agencies, whom we can control, but only if we have the knowledge.
