Let me elaborate for those who need to be spoon fed. There's nothing wrong with cutting down trees for wood etc, as long as it's controlled and they're replaced. At the rate we're chopping down the Amazon rainforest, there won't be any trees in the next 20-30 years. The size of France is being flattened every 5-7 years. On top of that, the rare medicinal plants that we depend on for cure's, are rapidly disappearing, and will soon cease to exist.
There are other alternative ways to create jobs for the people you so strongly defend, instead of ripping them off, by paying them minimum wages for THEIR natural resources that land up in our homes.
Now, you'll probably think that I'm picking on you, but your interpretation of my wish being a racist comment shows how ignorant you are.
I don't buy indigenous wood of any kind. Do you?
