    Episode Description

    G: ...Three hundred and forty-two days in the tree and counting, here’s Julia Butterfly. Hi Julia!

    J: Hello Geraldine.

    G: Boy, I bet it has been rainy up there.

    J: Yes it has. It’s funny, I love the rain and I love seeing fog, because I know that that means we still have some intact forests going on, because these incredible ancient redwood forests are part of the rain forest, so they thrive on this kind of weather, and when they are thriving, I feel like I’m thriving too.

    G: That’s a nice sentiment. A lot of news lately, and actually since last week we didn’t have our regular conversation, but we aired the live hearings of Pacific Lumber’s habitat conservation plan so it was pretty unusual for you and I not to speak live on the radio, and since last week so much has happened: the hearings followed by several rallies, 1 thought we could talk about some of the local events lately and I'd like to start out by talking a little bit about my experience on Saturday, at the rally in Fortuna. It was a rally in support of the Pacific Lumber employees who have been laid off by P.L’s license suspension, and I had the opportunity to talk with some really sincere people who were very worried about their jobs. And one of the huge signs that I saw there at the rally was a sign that read “CDF + EarthFirst! = Unemployment” and Julia, maybe you can help us understand why the folks that are laid off might be thinking that that is the case.
