Now What?

Now that we have seen the regulations and explored who might be responsible let me ask you:

• In what ways could these forests be better protected? 
• How could we as consumers encourage companies to care more about the environment?

Verso doesn’t seem to be directly responsible for any possible regulation breaking at logging sites. However, could they do more to make sure that the regulations aren’t broken? The verso representative had said that the larger companies were the ones that we needed to be concerned with.

But wait!

Fact 1: It took the company representative 2 weeks to call me back.

Fact 2: During the phone call it was hard to get any questions in. (Almost as if the representative had prepared a speech)

It is difficult to get the true story from a party that has biased. The representative has loyalty to his or her company, and therefore will have biased and not necessarily be truthful. So the question is?

How do we know when we are getting the truth, or if the truth we are getting has biased?
