========================================
Slept from eleven-thirty to seven-thirty, though fitfully after I woke around four-thirty.
Mostly sunny until late afternoon, then becoming partly cloudy.
Highs in the lower 50s.
West winds 5 to 10 mph, becoming southwest in the late afternoon.
* [x] 04:30 PM lunch with Yvonne, Kate, etc. at Orchid Cafe
Read more of Dreadful Company.
Thirty-minute walk in the morning.
Sunny and cool.
A lot of leaves fell in the last couple weeks, and a majority of trees have now lost a majority of their leaves.
Nice dinner with Yvonne, Kate, Rob, Isla, Hardy, Riley, and Dylan.

> In 1988, the British Columbia Council of Forest Industries, the "voice" of the logging industry, was facing tremendous public pressure from a growing environmentalist movement. The logging industry fought back with a television ad campaign called "Forests Forever."[11] It was an early example of greenwashing: shots of happy children, workers and animals with a kindly, trustworthy sounding narrator who assured the public that the logging industry was protecting the forest.

> Lasn and Shmalz, outraged by the use of the public airwaves to deliver what they felt was deceptive anti-environmentalist propaganda, responded by producing the "Talking Rainforest"[12] anti-ad in which an old-growth tree explains to a sapling that "a tree farm is not a forest." But the duo proved to be unable to buy airtime on the same stations that had aired the forest-industry ad.[citation needed] According to a former Adbusters employee, "The CBC's reaction to the proposed television commercial created the real flash point for the Media Foundation. It seemed that Lasn and Schmaltz's commercial was too controversial to air on the CBC. An environmental message that challenged the large forestry companies was considered 'advocacy advertising' and was disallowed, even though the 'informational' messages that glorified clearcutting were OK."
