>>Hi all -
>>
>>Something you can do regarding local vineyardization.
>>
>>It also seems to me that it'd be powerful if someone could do some before
>>and after pictures, of the beautiful wild areas that were decimated to
>>create the orderly, often toxic rows of grapes.

>>PHOTOGRAPHS WANTED
>>
>>I still believe that an on-line archive of poor vineyard practices
>>can be an effective tool for public education, but it won't happen
>>unless volunteers provide us with the photographs.  So far, we
>>have only photographs of a single site (Kistler Vineyards off
>>Barcaglia Road).  Given the current flurry of vineyard, I know
>>that other examples exist of woodlands razed and hillsides "recontoured."
>>We need *you* to collect the photographic evidence.  Send
>>photographs, a few words of explanation, and contact information
>>to the Environmental Center in Santa Rosa.  We'll scan them
>>and make them available to the public over the web.
>>
>>Thank you.

>>-------------repeated announcement from last month------

>>
>>In an effort to bring some public scrutiny to vineyard practices
>>normally hidden from view, the Sonoma Group of the Sierra Club
>>has launched the Vineyard Accountability Project.  Basically, this
>>will be an on-line archive of shocking vineyard photographs.  The
>>idea is that tourists searching the Web for information about Sonoma
>>County Wines will be shocked to see the practices behind the
>>bottle on the supermarket shelf.  Eventually, the vineyard owners
>>and managers will catch wind of the bad publicity, and modify
>>their practices.
>>
>>We are starting with Kistler Vineyards, mostly because we
>>happened to have pictures already.  In the future, we will
>>include other vineyards as well.
>>
>>Please take a look and let me know what you think.  We're
>>also on the lookout for other photographs of other vineyards.
>>Look at:
>>
>>http://www.monitor.net/redwood/sonoma/
>>
>>and then click on "Vineyard Accountability".  Thanks in advance
>>for any suggestions or material you can provide.
