3) oldest living things meets industrial couple. Tragic.
Are you living on the street? Then be quiet
Hell, even the street needed wood to be built
Wrong equation. Ever notice earth from space looks like it's infected?
Clearly
You know this stuff in the least bit funny.

Timber is a renewable resource and even clear cuts benefit the wildlife by opening up the canopy allowing plants and various grass and other plants to grow after the large trees are removed , which also helps reduce the chance of lightning caused or yes even man made wildfires when they occur a valuable resource is lost and in many places the trees that were burnt may never grow back or in some other cases the trees come back as which as hair on a dogs back .
Which even the deer elk and other wildlife don't utilize and avoid it , if its a pasture for livestock they avoid it as well .
There's many places in the Beartooth mtns where there's dead fall stacked up over 10' deep of dead lodge pole pine trees and no one is allowed to cut it up for posts and pole or even fire wood once again a few squirrels and pine marten may use it but nothing else will .
There's still more timber in the Pacific Northwest of the US than there is in the rain forest and or even South America .
On many logging operations a crew fellows up and reseeds pine trees into those cutting area's to help reduce any excessive run off .
Drive into the Snowy Mtns in Central Montana and every tree that has needles that are brown or doesn't have any needles is a dead or dying pine tree and there's thousands of them . All these places I've mentioned could stand to have logging take place in them some places selective cutting and others clear cuts to help reduce dead fall and to keep the forest healthy and diseases caused by insects like pine beatles .
The forest around Mount Rushmore is another prime example of a forest in need of logging the beatle kill in that forest is extreme and not getting any better .

A quick Ronnie Coleman story:
I used to go to a gym in East Rutherford, NJ, called Strong and Shapely. It was owned by a guy named Bob Bonham, who was a promoter for a lot of bodybuilding events. The gym was a real iron gym, and a bit intimidating at first, but actually a great place to workout, and had a lot of men and women competitors in there at any given time. There were a lot of very, very big dudes in there, and it was almost all free weights, with some machines and cardio equipment in a separate room.
So one day I'm going through my routine for that day, and there's this giant guy over doing reps on the seated calf raise machine. He kept adding 45 pound plates until no more would fit. He was wearing a weight belt with a name embroidered on it, but his shirt was half covering it, so I wasn't sure what it said. I'm watching this in-between my sets, and after him catching me watching for the third time, I figured I had better go talk to him, or look like a creep. He turned and faced me as I walked over, and held out his hand to shake right away. I asked, "are you Ronnie Coleman?", and he smiled and said he was. I introduced myself and asked what brought him to the gym. He said that Bob was a good friend, and he always likes to work out here when he's in the area. (I learned later that some big names get paid for "gym appearances" as they travel around the country) We talked for a couple minutes, and went back to our workouts. I had a few of the other gym-regular guys I saw whenever I was at the gym come and ask me if that was Ronnie Coleman. Even in the locker room, people asked if that was him, and commented on how big he was. He really was huge, words really can't describe it, and when we stood face-to-face, he blocked off half of the room. Seemed like a nice guy though, and I shook his hand a couple other times when he was there in following years.
