Arthur, if you have'nt done so yet, treat yourself and visit the Kitsip Penninsula in the state of Washington. Some of the largest lumbering operations in the world, co existing with untouched/protected forrest lands and the only remaining rain forrest in North America. It is some of the most beautiful terrain in the contenental US.
And trust me folks I want the planet to survive as we all do. I do what I can not to pollute and waste. Yes I could do better as we all could. But the tree hugging thing is the hippie movement of the 80's to current. I have travelled extensively in places like Alska, The Yukon, British Columbia and Siberia. That small section of the planet alone has enough trees that will never be used by man for anything. There are many other parts of the world with as many trees. The rain forests were abused. It was a mistake. Shame on man for wasting what he did there. The world is not going to run out of trees.
