It didn’t take long for environmentalists to tap into James Cameron’s massively successful Avatar for a creative boost to their rallies. A small gathering of Na’vi – a.k.a. loincloth-clad protesters painted blue – joined 150 Ancient Forest Alliance supporters outside the Vancouver Art Gallery Saturday to drum up some support to save B.C.’s old-growth forests.
