On the other hand, factories and industry are really important parts of our economy. Can we really afford to just stop cutting trees?
My hunch is that we'll always rely on trees for wood, as it is one of our main natural resources. But we also need to accept that it's high time we all woke up and smelled the coffee.
If we continue to cut down trees the way we are now, all these factories and shelters we can create and supply with wood will be located in a barren desert with no biodiversity- is that really worth it?
I thought not!
