The World Resource Institute says that forest soils and vegetation store 40% of all carbon in the terrestrial biosphere. According to them deforestation generates about 20% of the human caused emissions, this is only second to fossil fuel combustion. FSEEE has a mission to protect national forests and to reform the U.S. Forest Service by advocating environmental ethics, educating citizens, and defending whistleblowers. This organization is made up of Forest service employees, activists, government resource managers, and thousands of concerned citizens. This group watches over the success and failure of the Forest Service. Their efforts include things such as publicizing disastrous timber policies . FSEEE also keeps the communication between reformers within and outside the agency. Any interested person that wants to be apart of this organization can join to help.

So this organization doesn't directly work in forests or plant trees or anything? How radical is this group?
ReplyDeleteWhat does FSEEE stand for? It is really interesting that anyone can join and be apart of this organization. What does the U.S. Forest service do?
ReplyDeleteWhat has this group done most recently? What policies have they published in order to educate the public?
ReplyDeleteChelsea, are you apart of the FSEEE, did you get a free t-shirt, or hat?I think that this is a good post, I didn't know this much about trees until you came along. Thank you, for informing me about trees.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that deforestation was part of the human emission.
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate these kinds of groups, most people just want to plow down the forests and make new cities. And for those who asked; FSEEE stands for Forest Service Employees for Environmental Ethic. It was a the top of the page, if you look.
ReplyDeleteFSEEEE!! I agree with Cody, you have opened my eyes to trees Chelsea. Very interesting posts.
ReplyDeleteThis group is great for the preservation of our forests, and its very important that these groups stay intact. We need our trees to provide clean air and shade, so good post Chels, I like these groups.
ReplyDeleteIf we keep at deforestation like we are, we're gonna in big trouble. We definitely need more groups like this.
ReplyDeleteI agree, more people should help keep the deforestation down.
