NYT's Mention of Banff ecology etc.

[firebug]

Generally about the Y2Y (yukon to yellowstone http://www.y2y.net/ ) wildlife corridor, but many specifics about Banff and the surrounding area.

Likely you will need to sign up.



Points for discussion:

Is your ecological impact something you are concerned about or is it irrelevant to you?

Do you make any specific efforts to minimize your impact, locally or while out in Banff or other 'wild' areas?

I will contribute some of my opinions if others find the topic worthwhile.

No matter where I go to camp, I make sure to leave nothing behind.

Also, at home I try to do everything in my power to just help out the environment. I drive my wife nuts. I recycle everything. Nothing eve goes to the dump because there is a company in London called Try Recycling and for a fee you can take anything there and they recycle something like 97% of the stuff they take in. Its pretty cool.
