Typical left-wing "thinking", offering no solutions. Instead of just focusing on resource use, why not look at that huge environmental disaster - urban sprawl in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. Oh, that doesn't count? There used to be plenty of old growth in the Lower Mainland too - until it all got cut down for more million dollar homes and strip malls.

Of course, the author just wants to focus on things that Vancouverites can point at and condemn (like all that bad mining, logging, dams and pipelines elsewhere in BC), because they don't think those things impact them - and not point out their own footprints.
