The debate over climate change generally transpires within
the cloistered confines of expensive hotels, executive boardrooms, and
diplomatic halls. As seen in the failure
to arrive at binding agreements in Copenhagen, the talks are generally
as sterile as the surroundings. Now, all signs point to another
high-level fiasco at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 16), to be
held Nov.29-Dec. 10 in the beach resort town of Cancun, Mexico.

Activist occupies tree on the corner of Oak St and Park St within the
Eugene Saturday Market

Eugene, OR-  Early this morning activists with Cascadia Rising Tide
deployed a tree sit within the Saturday Market in downtown Eugene.  A
platform was rigged around a tree approximately 40 feet from the ground,
and a banner was hung reading “Forest Service: Give Back Trapper. Protect
Our Water.”

The platform is occupied by Grace Warner, who plans to remain through
Saturday to inform Eugene of the horrendous logging practices advocated by
the Forest Service, as well as threats to the drinking water supply that
the Trapper timber sale poses.

would be flagged up early and often.
