Sustainable Forestry – a Coincidence

I was in the process of writing my post on sustainable forestry a few minutes ago, when the phone rang and an old friend/client called to get caught up.  In the course of the conversation, he told me about an indirect connection he has to the developers of the largest non-rigid airship in history.   Its main commercial purpose?  Airlifting felled trees out of the Amazon.  When built, tested, and deployed, this thing will be the least cost way of taking what little remains of the world’s forest to the sawmill a few hundred miles away. 

Needless to say, if this project happens, it will do so without my support.
