Why waste?
‘Dear Sir: —

Icould barley contain my-
self when I read the March 2
article on wood waste.

When people see piles
and piles of logs lying in the
bush rotting their concern is
warranted, Just because the

_State- ~ »-
. mentabout Sierra Club com-

areas in this story of wasted
wood involved New Skeena
Forest Products, not any
First Nations or other local
forest companies.

If. Roger Harris and his
government wants :; to, de-
fend New Skeena’s environ-

mental .or socio-economic .

record, it demonstrates that

A worse case scenario.
would be that this road won’t
be fixed at=all, because the
government won’t fund it.
Either way, the public inter-
est is undermined. ;
