Hey, Captain America. George Washington wasn't the first person to cut a tree.

As for the question, people cut trees because they are a very valuable resource. I'm not going to get into it any further than that, because you're probably an enviromentalist freak who will nag me to death about how many innocent trees are cut down.

There is this strange material some call "Lumber" that can only come from trees, you might have heard of it under another name of "wood." This "lumber" substance can be found all around, and if you ask some one where you can find this "lumber," I'm sure someone can help you out. And there are other occasions when trees are "in the way," and need to be removed for the sake of them not being "in the way."
