1. Big trees block the sunlight and kill your lawn. They should be cut down. | See, I've never really seen the appeal of lawns... Firstly, I'm allergic to growing grass, and secondly, I'd rather have some nice, shady trees in front of my house. I had one when I was growing up, and I used to climb it all the time. It was great.
Wouldn't cutting down as many trees as possible raise the price of lumber? Once you cut down too many trees, there won't be enough, and the supply will be greatly diminished, so price will go up. In order to repopulate, there will be a smaller genetic stock, and that would leave the new trees prone to disease.
What we need is sensible forest management. |
