Posted because friends on twitter said it was good and it took me too long to track it down. Very impressive oratory & sentiment. Also seeing the “Obama Biden” logo at the end I was struck with confusion as dsylexia caused me to see “Osama Binladen”, how bizarre.

Bob Brown Interview

angusf — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 08:08:37 +0000

Bob Brown on why we need forests:

“We’ve got to keep old growth forests because that’s where we come from”
“This curl on our ear is not fashioned to listen to TV or ipods … this is to pick up the faintest sound from the forest floor”
“Our eyes are set back in our foreheads so we cam move swiftly through the forest safely”
“Thats why we put pictures of wildlife, flowers, forests on our walls not chainsaws and bulldozers”
“They are an avenue back to where we come from.”
He continues on to describe advantages of eco-tourism over logging and the plight of the Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagle
