why don`t we start planting more trees instead of cutting them down and lets stop being greedy all the time?

Answer 1

I hope you are not one of those greedy people who wants to read books made from trees that are cut down. If we can continue the present-day trend toward people not reading we will be able to stop the cutting down.

Actually the timber and paper companies who are in the business for the long run always plant new trees on the land where they have cleared trees. They know that otherwise they will be out of raw material for their products.

Answer 2

Good deal! I hope you stay as proud of the liberal label as I am!

BTW, all the paper industry plants (not the trees, but the ringers) are distracting our attention from two important points:
1) The trees cut today are gone today, but those planted today aren't trees for many decades (or centuries);
2) hemp is a renewable resource for papermaking and many other utilitarian purposes, but the wood-pulp industry wanted more of a monopoly, so it helped make hemp illegal for all purposes;
3) capitalism has its, not your, interests at heart.

Make that 3 important points. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Answer 3

You should personally plant trees. Besides I thought more companies were going greener now and recycling etc, planting more trees!!! Plus we need trees for oxygen

Answer 4

because "the man" says so.

and also: should we plant more fruit trees instead of ornamental trees in parks and open spaces so people can get fruit whenever they want instead of leading a life of mcdonalds.

its a harsh world...

Answer 5

do you realise that for every tree cut down to make paper, two are planted?!

trees are not our biggest problem, and if you are talking about greed talk to the big businesses, the banks and the mining companies. not us.

Answer 6

(Sigh) I'm with you. It's difficult to convince people to give up greedy, selfish ways, but then again, we all have some greed and selfishness within us. I guess it begins with each individual. Once we change ourselves and others see that, perhaps it will convince them to change.

Answer 7

unfortunately getting the message into places it needs to be will be v v v v hard (politicians, selfless loggers etc)
