Ingmar has planted more than 1,000,000 trees during his 21-year professional treeplanting career. While crawling through the industrial logging wreckage of Canada's once-magnificent forests, he gradually learned that mass-production treeplanting in stump-fields is a giant corporate greenwashing scam to legitimize the scandalous farce of the liquidation/conversion scheme which is destroying the worlds forests. To work off the dreadful karma he accrued, he has become a tenacious and uncompromising primaeval forest protection activist. Ingmar has travelled extensively all over Asia, which he has visited over 9 long trips, and his combined experience has given him a keen insight into the scale of the global ecological catastrophe. Since his first trip to India in 1977 he has seen the population nearly double from 650 million to more than a billion. He has trekked throughout the Hindu Kush, Karakoram and Himalayan mountains, where many people still live a timeless self-sufficient lifestyle, in tune with nature. Ingmar believes that humanity must relearn such arts of living and that all of the worlds still intact forest ecosystems must be off-limits to any further commercial extraction. He lives in Pondicherry, India.

jail in Maui in January, 2003 for driving while shit-faced drunk.

Title: Head Nobody
Dear Mr Lee,
I don't recall how I happened to come across your blog, but I am pleased I did. You write in a very engaging style on the issues you address. Your commentaries on the political hand-puppets in your country and those hands working them in your neighboring country are well expressed, if rather more polite than I feel the subjects of your essays deserve. However, your style is your style and I can't fault you for writing about those plague-rats in a more discreet style than I prefer to. I lived in your fine country for more years than I think you may be alive - I'm not certain, but you look much younger in your photo than I am. I left Canada to live abroad a couple of years ago, so as to spend however many years of life I may have left in different surroundings and where the people have distinctly different opinions and perspectives than do Canadians. Also to get as far the hell away from The Evil Empire as I could and still have the benefit of high-speed internet. I am working on my own projects here to make a positive contribution to the sphincter-clenching environmental issues the world is confronted with and am always heartened to come across the work and writing of individuals such as yourself. Keep up the great work. Keep your head up and your stick on the ice, as they say over there. Best regards, Louis Cyphre, somewhere in Europe (the name obviously being a pseudonym)

Title: Thanks for your visit
Hi Ingmar,
thanks again for your visit in Konstanz. I really believe that at least some of the 300 people in your lectures will switch to recycled paper. Shortly after your visit I saw a truck delivering printing paper to the local administration: all with the blue angel! Very sad what you told about the role of Greenpeace in terms of greenwashing the logging of 2000000 hectares of premieval rain forest. Here in Konstanz, the Greenpeace activists really try to convince people for using recycled paper. Hope to see you again! Thomas

Title: You are an inspiration to us all
Great blog Ingmar!!
How we use the resources available to us on earth will determine what kind of future humans will have on this planet. That's a given. Actions like yours- and many others on this planet- encourage people to learn about the issues impacting their communities, encourages people to be inspired and innovative in our approach towards land/environment/energy sustainability issues, and most importantly encourages us to be the force that eventually drives the change in the policies of local, provincial and federal governments. Really, any "jackass" would be aware that it is people, especially people like you, and communities that change the world and the policies that govern us all, not politicians. Thank you.
