Response from Beth Orton

From Beth Orton on Facebook: "I am so sorry. I feel sick with disgust. I was told the tree was already dead. I will take the video down now. Please let me know what I can do to help make some kind of amends. I did not direct the video and was following direction but now I know what I have been part of I feel utterly devastated and of course take responsibility for my part. I am truly and deeply sorry." We would still like her to make a donation to the Mojave Desert Land Trust to help protect and restore the desert after acts like hers--no word on that yet.
