Stop Clearcutting

Actually, nevermind. There's no solution to this at this level of discussion. I've been brought up to look at the world and environmental issues a certain way. Clearly, your values are different. I can respect that, so nevermind.

albert that will never happen........ there is legislation in place that wont let that happen ( only talking about the logging industry not about cities getting bigger and stuff like that that also deforests places) logging companies have to replant the areas where they remove trees from there for they remove a tree they must replant a tree....... there will always be trees to handel the co2 that was talked about b4.....

This is true! They will plant a seedling for every 40 foot tree they chop down!
The seedling will remove the same amount of co2 as the 40 footer in about 100 years.

Wasn't talking about enjoyment, but rather co2 removal. Maybe people will just have to take a break from breathing for a few generations?

I was just relpying to your post where you stated in an "as a matter of fact" way that logging companies have it all covered.

Yes they do have to replant trees, but you and I both know that these tree's are not going to be of any huge bennifit for a very long time. While big buisness tells us about all the good they do.

Did you ever see what they leave behind after clearcutting? All of the premium lumber is removed while all of the "less cost effective to remove" is dozed into piles for burning. I know you said you work in the patch, so you must have seen this a number of times and thought to yourself WTF. I know I have.
