Subject: Brian didn't tell me this...
Great to see the inginuity and commitment of forest activists in Australia who are using some clever contraptions to protect old trees from becoming paper pulp, and the water supply from contamination. This is the water I drink and the land I grew up on, so it has a lot of resonance - especially as I'd never seen anything like this on the mainstream news. This is a really well made short, and it's probably of interest to all people in Melbourne, Au., and to people elsewhere facing similar issues of clean water access and over logging - which is a lot of places right now.
