Episode Description

G: ...but fist moving to Tuesday along with me is Julia Butterfly, live from Luna. Hi Julia.

J: Hi Geraldine.

G: What’s going on?

J: Well, I have got on the other line, I have got to run real quickly, I just have an interview going on with Senator Thompson, just got finished saying his piece, Dan Hamburg is going to be saying his piece and then they are going to give me a chance to say my piece about this deal. It is very important that I be able to get that out there because this area where I am is significant, because it is one of the many, many areas that will be destroyed under this deal. As it applies to the habitat, for endangered species, all we need to do is replace the seven families home in Stafford that were destroyed with a stream, with salmon in it, with their proposed hundred foot buffer zones and then understanding that Pacific Lumber will be free to do whatever it wants on the rest of it’s land, including these steep and unstable slopes, above this so called protection. They come in, they cut, it causes a mud slide that destroys the stream and the hundred foot buffer zones will do no good. So, that is what is going on with me right now.

G: So, you have got Mike Thompson on another line, on hold?
