Well, there are loud hurrahs at Rainforest Action Network these days, because Hollywood is moving away from using rainforest wood for the construction of movie sets. Activists believe it is the first commercial film to carry such a notice. If it's not there, write to the producer. It's just not acceptable in this day and age to cut down rainforests to make movies.
Rainforests play a vital role in the planet's life-support system.
Leading scientists say we're losing an area equal to two football fields a second. Three years ago, Rainforest Action Network asked the major Hollywood studios to stop using plywood made from lauan, a tropical hardwood from Southeast Asia. The entertainment industry was consuming a quarter-million sheets of it every year, often using it only once before casting it off. Negotiations, letter writing, and demonstrations produced results. Rainforest Action Network is now asking independent producers to stop using lauan.
