TAKE ACTION! New York City’s (NYC) Department of Parks and Recreation is one of America’s largest destroyers of rainforests, reports New York based Rainforest Relief. Parks and other NYC and state agencies including the Department of Transportation (DOT) and NYC Transit use hundreds of thousands of board feet of tropical hardwoods per year. New York City’s use of ancient forest timbers comes at great expense to the Earth’s biodiversity, ecosystems, climate and prospects for achieving global ecological sustainability…

Please support Rainforest Relief’s and NY Climate Action Group’s campaign demanding that Mayor Bloomberg end NYC’s use of tropical hardwoods. In order to protect ancient forests, the people who live there, and global climate; NYC purchases of timbers derived from ancient forests must be stopped and an important precedent set that all industrial scaled ancient forest logging must end forever.
