When you understand that under capitalism a forest has no 'value' until you cut it down, you begin to grasp the root of the ecological crisis we're in.
A forest isn’t simply a collection of trees, it’s a living, breathing community that protects, supports and heals.🌳💚🌍
The destruction of forests by climate heat and catastrophic wildfires dwarfs commercial over logging by orders of magnitude.
Ending commercial logging entirely without ending carbon fuels would not delay the end of forests by a year, not one month. Climate heat turned Canadiian forests to ash, bigger than Poland, in 30 months.
Climate heat is killing German forests where they stand. Uncut.
Build solar and wind, or stop pretending to care.
|| Our ignorance and in-attendance amazes me. My grandfather (b.1896) worked in the logging industry from the 20's and was a vocal advocate for reforestation to the extent he refused to work for any corporation who wasn't doing so. So here we are over a century later still not doing enough to compensate for what we take. Sad. Peace
Cutting, for overseas sales, for houses, for construction, clearing for building, roads and farms and pellets is tens of thousands of hectares.
Tens of thousands.
Canada's Warning to The World, Canada's Catastrophic Climate Wildfires, is millions of Hectares.
Millions.
Logging is tens of thousands.
Climate wildfires is tens of millions.
To save forests, only fighting carbon matters. Only building the new energy will save forests. Only.
Only.
Only.
