Logging Industry Will Cause More Fires and More BREATHING Problems

I have a very important message for you regarding the forest fires in Canada. If people don't take action now, we will suffer the loss of millions of hectares of forest this year, with air quality so severe, you won't be able to breathe. This will tie into COVID19 and viral infections - more on that below. 

Areas that have been logged have shown the worst fires on record, due to leaving behind fragmented, dry, combustible forests. I strongly recommend that you read our recent post here, entitled, Lumber Industry Responsible for BC Fires.

If people don't stop the lumber industry and Canada from selling out and exporting its forests (i.e. lumber) all to stay ahead of the controlled economy, we will suffer great loss. Some of Canada's main buyers have been: United States, China, Japan, South Korea, Europe and India. Some facts about where our lumber is exported:

As a result of raging fires and forest loss, there will be far less safe places to seek refuge if more forests burn. It will affect camping, outdoors, hunting, air quality, quality of life, forests, health ... and the list goes on.

COVID-19 and Air Quality

If you live in BC or Alberta, you know how bad the air quality can become from forest fires. Don't be surprised when they blame these upcoming asthma and lung failure problems on COVID19. The bottom line is that air pollution, like those caused by forest fires, affects the immune system:

Air pollution alters immune function, worsens asthma symptoms. ... The researchers found that air pollution exposure suppressed the immune system's regulatory T cells (Treg), and that the decreased level of Treg function was linked to greater severity of asthma symptoms and lower lung capacity.

What can we do? Be proactive. Make your MPs, doctors, media outlets, public, and members of parliament aware of this issue. Share this information with others. Wildfires affect all of us, including farming and agriculture, that produce our food.
