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?

All well and fine but for the time being the only wages that they are likely to get is what they get.I also don't believe that chopping trees is as bad as it is made out to be.Besides,there are more urgent problems to deal with than the silly amazonic forest dilemma.
