@bananahead - especially since it takes so long to grow a tree big enough to make anything! I live in the Tongass National Rainforest where President Clinton stopped logging with the roadless act. It hurt Southeast communities that relied on pulp and lumber plants for the economy. When the local Chamber had a green ribbon campaign to support the logging industry I refused to participate. People say the Tongass is big enough with plenty of timber to log, I say we have taken enough from the planet.
