JOIN THE SEATTLE RAINFOREST ACTION GROUP IN EXPOSING QUADRANT HOMES
Quadrant Homes, a subsidiary of the Weyerhaeuser Corporation is one of the largest manufactured home producers in the Pacific Northwest. Unfortunately though, as one of the leading producers, Quadrant Homes also leads the industry in unethical and environmentally harmful practices. Quadrant Home's misleading marketing of "green" building products and homes, in fact contain wood from endangered forests in Grassy Narrows traditional territory in Northern Ontario, Canada.
Weyerhaeuser and its subsidiary, Quadrant Homes take part in a vast scheme of lies and half truths designed to mislead and confuse consumers of the facts involved with global
corporate greed, all the while pretending to appear environmentally and ethically sound. The truth is though; Weyerhaeuser is currently one of the most ecologically harmful corporations in the world, refusing to adopt any type of legitimate sustainable forestry practices as they destroy vast regions of endangered forest land worldwide. One of the many regions the Weyerhaeuser Corporation is destroying is located in Northern Ontario, Canada, where vast tracks of endangered forest land, of which is also traditional territory of the Grassy Narrows Indigenous First Nation, are being raped of Life without the consent of the indigenous communities that have lived there for thousands of years. Quadrant Home's is turning American Dreams into a Native Nightmare!
Join the Seattle Rainforest Action Group this Wednesday, January 24th, where we will bring attention to the issues at hand & once again demand that Quadrant Homes and Quadrant Home's president Peter Orser respect indigenous rights, and stop use of timber stolen from indigenous traditional territories! If you would like to join us, could definitely use your support and help!
