The hypocrisy of some environmentalists amaze me.
From the
Honolulu Star Bulletin:
Group wants trees moved for festival
A new environmental nonprofit group in Hawaii is talking with the city about possibly uprooting and relocating several trees on Magic Island to accommodate its first-ever summit and concert, planned for next year.
Organizers of Blue Planet Festival said putting on a grand four-day event in April, with environmentalists from around the world talking about policies promoting clean and alternative energy, could require several trees to be moved.
The Outdoor Circle objects to relocating these trees because it would create a barren area in Magic Island.
The Outdoor Circle is fighting against another tree project, urging the city not to uproot any trees on Magic Island for a new local environmental group wanting to put on a four-day event next year.
An environmental group that wants to remove some pesky trees because they block the view of
their stage for
their show for
their important event... Why don't they just re-jigger the seating to work around the trees. Sheesh!
