The amount of destruction logging causes here in Oregon is sickening. Just came back from the coast and where hundreds of acres of beautiful trees stood is now a desolate scar.
I get that we have an addiction to wood products, but there has to be a better way. All you see are patches of land that look like Calvin’s head when Hobbes cuts his hair, and monoculture “reforestation” efforts that ignore the amount of nutrition and fungal/floral/animal diversity that have been removed/destroyed. It just sucks. It reminds me of Costa Rica. I just hope we can choose, like much of Costa Rica, to try and embrace conservation and make an industry around that instead.
Brave Sir Donald ran away. Bravely ran away away!
