poor people are not tree huggers because they can't sit around and hug a tree all day. they need to go to work a double shift, then come home and care for their string of kids (because the conservatives made sure they didn't have sex ed- but that's another discussion).
and if you are poor and have a string of kids, you're not going to buy the expensive recycled toilet paper, you're going to wipe your behinds with the cheap, tree killing toilet paper. likewise, you're not going to spend more for hairspray that comes in a plastic squirt bottle (which is more expensive because plastic is made from, you guessed it, oil, which really is no better for the environment if you think about it...)- anyway, if you're poor, you're going to buy the $1 ozone depleting aqua net.
it's not that the poor hate trees, it's just that they can't afford to love them.

This is utterly ridiculous, how can anyone rich or poor hate trees???
In the grand view of things, there are so many different things to hate I would venture to guess that trees are so far down on the list that you must be really reaching to achieve an answer forum from the topic. Funny but untrue.

The industrialization and population increase is devastating to trees around the world. It does not appear to be a specific hate per se but rather a generalized ignorance and stupidity by both the rich and the poor.
The trees might see it as hate though ;)

There is not a lot to discuss. I am poor and I love trees. I enjoy all that Mother Nature has created. I even burn wood for heat, but I take only that that is down. Even a desert can be beautiful, it is just how one looks at it.

Considering the heavy corporate lobbying against environmental and conservation laws, I would say the rich hate trees a lot more than the poor.

Extremely egotistical! To suggest that the less affluent must rely upon hard copy,ie. paper written communication, snail mail etc to express themselves, while the "superior classes" rely upon electronics, thus sparing natural resource's destruction to further communication, and making these "advanced beings" morally superior for choosing to spare the environment while the teeming masses chose to destroy natural resources is to suggest that financial well-being tends to make one superior to the less affluent soley based on assets of a monetary nature. This arguement is inheriently false , as proved by the Native Americans, who, while cash poor, held all things natural to be beyond value & lived their lives accordingly. Too bad the rest of society sees no value in an undisturbed landscape.

Poor people (not impoverished but pitiful people) hate trees because they are no longer in touch with nature.
I think people who are impoverished don't hate trees but may have other day to day concerns about survival that keep them from hugging every tree they see.

Because the artificial Christmas trees are generally inexpensive.
Because they hate bush.
Because they can't see the forest.
