[stomp! stomp!] [close up of logging boots]<br>
[chainsaw grinding]<br>
[stomp! stomp!] [close up of bird's legs, in a standoff]<br><br>
[various wildlife in a chorus line of tree voles, murrelets, spotted owls hooting in background]<br><br>
the - for - est - is - our - home<br>
it's - not - a - log - ging - zone<br><br>
TREE VOLES (look down from treetops):<br>
I think they're logging again<br>
Destroying more trees<br>
And killing our friends<br>
(It's crazy)<br>
We might not look like much<br>
In-the food chain of life<br>
We're somebody's lunch<br>
So to lose just one species<br>
Is not good ecology<br>
(For anybody!)<br><br>
Stop! They're logging again<br>
The moment it starts<br>
It won't ever end<br>
Somebody help us<br>
Stop that damage they cause<br>
Taking corporate sa-a-a-aws<br>
To natural habitats<br><br>
SALMON AND SALAMANDERS:<br>
An ecosystem exists<br>
For thousands of years<br>
Till humans reduce Mother Nature to tears<br>
We cry, watching the waste<br>
Of glorious redwoods<br>
That can't be replaced<br><br>
WOODSY AND THE SPOTTED OWLS:<br>
Cuz the Head-WA-ters FO-rest<br>
Is full of creatures like me<br>
(Who need those trees, so)<br>
Don't - start - logging again<br>
Preserve all our homes<br>
Protect all our friends<br>
(You know ya gotta)<br>
Stop your corporate greed<br>
Taking more than you ne-e-e-ed<br>
From natural habitats<br><br>
This - used - to - be - our - home<br>
It's - now - a - bat-tle - zone<br><br>
[INSERT CLIPS FROM RADIO INTERVIEWS:<br>
EXAMPLES: "Aren't the redwood trees protected?"<br>
"Only a small reserve. But the ecosystem depends<br>
on saving the entire Headwaters Forest. All 60,000<br>
acres. Otherwise, the whole region will die out."<br>
"But I thought Pacific Lumber lost their license!"<br>
"They did stop logging, for a while. But not for long . . . ."]<br><br>
EAGLES AND MARBLED MURRELETS:<br>
Don't start - logging again - it's no good<br>
For little birds - who live among the redwoods<br>
Stop! You - think you're above earthly laws<br>
But look - what - a-mess you cause<br><br>
Stop! They're logging again<br>
Destroying our homes<br>
And killing our friends<br>
(C'mon you gotta)<br><br>
[Stop that corporate greed<br>
[Taking more than you need<br>
[It's not your habitat<br><br>
[Don't start logging again<br>
[The moment it starts<br>
[It won't ever end<br>
[ (No way, ya gotta)<br><br>
Stop that damage you cause<br>
Breaking natural la-a-a-aws<br>
Respect the Environment</H5>

Do NOT give up your day job.
Çanakkale seramiklerini, antik gözyasi siselerini, günün begenisine uygun iznik desenli ipek esarplari, Bodrumlu sanatçinin gümüs takilarim, Naninin yaylalarinin elvan igne oyalarini, ya da altin varakli toprak kaplar bulabilirsiniz.
Bazen bir göz boncugu görece'li ustalari hatirlatir size, bazen bir balar sahan ninenizin sofralarim...
Birgün, Tekirdag'in dokumalari seslenir ülkenin bir ucundan ve ona yanit geldigini duyarsiniz Artvin li sanatkarlardan...
Kimi zaman mercan bir gerdanligin bir Artemis heykeli ile sarmas, dolas oldugunu ya da mavinin en güzelini tasiyan modern cam siselerin, altin bezekli Osmanli Bey-kozlan ile kucaklastigini görebilirsiniz.
Antakya'li tas ustalarinin mini formlari ile yabanci dostlariniza bir esinti göndermeyi düsünebilirsiniz Anadolu'dan. Ama ayni ilimizin el dokumasi ipekleri belki de özel bir armagan olabilir kendinize...
Karadeniz'in coskusunu renkleriyle yansitan alli, mavili el dokumalarini sevgiyle aksarken; genç kizlarin gümüs Trabzon hasirlarini nasil büyük bir hünerle dokudugunu da düsünebilirsiniz.
Kimbilir, belki de birgün DÖSlM Satis Merkezlerinde yada Sanal Magaza'da ünlü Devrek bastonlari ya da sedef kakma zarf açacaklari ilisir gözünüze ve artik hayatta olmayan ustalari saygi ile anarsiniz.
