On episode 128 of the Green Root Podcast (the official podcast of Eco-Integrity Alliance), host Josh Schlossberg asks whether a new ballot initiative to expand taxpayer funded logging on public lands—“Clearcut” Initiative 308—might be violating the Colorado State Constitution.

Josh talks about:

-Clearcut Initiative 308, which would fund clearcutting and industrial logging in endangered species habitat, old-growth forest, and protected Roadless Areas;

-How it’s being sold to the public under the guise of recreation and “conservation”;

-How the measure is funded by Trump-aligned NGOs that take tax dollars to promote and/or carry out public lands logging;

-How its language makes outright false claims—that logging can somehow “prevent wildfires”—that not even the U.S. Forest Service defends;

-How Clearcut Initiative 308 may violate the Colorado State Constitution’s “Single Issue Rule” by lumping three topics—recreation, conservation, and logging—under one measure.

The mission of Eco-Integrity Alliance (eco-integrityalliance.org) is to unite U.S. grassroots ecosystem advocates through common campaigns of mutual support.
