Look…there’s no way around the fact that what this man has done is amazing and of course the environment matters. It is pointless to be sarcastic about the importance of the environment. It is extremely ignorant to think the environment does not matter, but it is the responsibility of the toxin manufacturers and politicians to get these toxins out of circulation. I doubt anyone else is going to make a toxic canoe out of chopsticks. I agree Taro was missing the point, but saying the environment doesn’t matter could lead to believing it and no one facing serious consequences of catastrophy will laugh when they or their family is suffering. Anyway I love this boat and our friend here is amazing for building it.
