Once I learned how the timber industry REALLY works, I hated it. Sorry folks, but people haven't been clearcutting forests in close to a century. They REPLANT what they cut down--- and most of the wood that goes into your paper and cardboard and other cheap products comes from tree farms. That's right. Grown like potatoes.
Not to mention the refusal to let the lumber companies cut back "old growth forests" or even to remove damaged or diseased or dead trees has been directly responsible for the epic level forest fires we suffered over the past decade. The trees grew in so dense and the deadwood piled up so deep that most of our forests were turned into giant tinderboxes... now there are patches where nothing will grow back for CENTURIES, because the fire was so hot it sterilized the soil. |

^^It's more of a generalization on overuse of all natural resources. Plus, a while ago and still to a lesser extent today deforestation in rainforests is an issue. |

Anon2 - that sort of depends on which country's running the show - any US-based company operates the way you say, ditto for Canada and most of Western Europe.
A number of South American countries play it closer to the Once-ler's attitude, from what I've seen, and I've heard mixed things on China's lumber industry. |
