Thanks Jeff! I am going to see it in an hour with my ten year old granddaughter, who is going green lately..
Of course, with me as her grandmother, she won’t ever become a Lefty ;-)
But I’ve been dreading seeing the movie(except for the fun of being with her)..and now I feel more armed and ready for battle.
Well, you’ll see how it is. If you simply point out all the wood around her...and the good it does...and the fact that there are more trees now, and proabably a lot visible where you live (unless its the desert southwest where except in the mountaon tops there’s no anyway), then most kids will pick up on it.
I asked them the question going out knowing what their answers would be given what they had just seen...and I asked them why...which they parroted the mvoe’s message.
We then talked, diplayed, and had them point out things of wood around them that were good.
Then the same question and they all decided lumber companies were good after all since they do not clear cut as depicted in the film.
