I am concerned. It seems so hopeless. We'll kill ourselves (or future generations) at this rate.
How old are you? This sounds very sophomoric.

We will run out of trees right after the sky falls.

I wish killing unicorns was illegal and I wish everyone could get paid in rainbows.

google up 'tamworth nh' select maps. That green stuff everywhere is trees.

If you scroll North to the Rt 112 the kanc and look around you can see cuttings...... You can see old cuttings all grown back too.

This is my back yard. In the National Forest with out so much as if you please i can go cut down standing dead, and take slash all I want as I please. if i wanted to go to auction I could try to buy lots and take living trees a forester marks for 1,000 reasons as to why it SHOULD be cut.

Here in winter we burn seasoned hard woods which you don't get in the west.

Not cutting trees is crazy.

I saw a double rainbow just 2 days ago, but so far not one unicorn in my life so far.

But yesterday just outside my door I saw a white tail deer looking at my veggie garden. I just hope that deer goes into my corn. If it does i know better than to say so even while I hold a hunting lic here on CD.

Last year i shot a gray fox that was hanging out very close to 2 men beating on sheet metal; a housing case for a vacuum oven and a large dog....

Turned out distemper was going around but a fool on CD tried to get me busted. My hunting lic counts varmints and furbearers too. Needless to say i didn't harvest that hide or even touch that fox with bare skin.

Lucky you - so there was just that small chance after the fact that the fox had distemper? Sounds like at first you were just trying to save the lives of human beings who were about to attacked by a 20 pound fox...I think you just enjoyed using your gun as if you were some sort of frontiersman....dumb.

We had 2 very large trees cut down this year. The roots were approaching our foundation. Should I have just left the trees, and let the house be destroyed?

Maybe, but never the less trees get sick and are under attack from all sorts of insects the govt has allowed to be imported. In NH we have a new to us big eating white ash trees. That bug comes from west of here and was in NY last year and will be in Maine next year.

Tn and Ky are over run with kudzu a japanese weed imported to fight soil erosion. And then with all that crap of leaf matter it's none to cool in those areas......

Really not too sure growing that many more trees will cool a planet. I will give it a maybe.

If it is true then maybe all concrete jungles should be torn down and planted to be green zones eh?

I agree that one can fry eggs in a walmart parking lot in NH about now.
