The Beaverton is satire…
Thanks for your valuable insight
The forests will be cut and they campaigned on it
Okay, I thought you were presenting the article as reality. That really will be a tragedy if they cut down these old growth forests.
They will do it and we need literal boots on the ground to stop it
I'll be there
OP ate the beaver
@rabber I ditto these sentiments in the post. It’s always going to be incomprehensible that these corporations cannot understand these “forever” issues.
I don't think that the elites agreeing to cut this have ever set foot inside of an untouched forest before. Anyone who has should be immediately convinced it's off limits. It's against everything we should be standing up for as humans, right wing or whatever you are. You feel such a primal connection to earth that is basically what nutjobs would describe as a religious experience.
And as a proud atheist for the first 25 years of my life, these forests have changed my entire perspective on spirituality after I relocated to the island. I don't know what it is, but I no longer "believe in nothing".
Even Hitler didn't destroy Prague when he invaded it. There are just some things that are so special that I refuse to believe even a psychopath would destroy them without regret.
If these politicians want this cut, they should have to be forced to watch it be cut. It's literal murder. Each tree is going to take hours to fell individually.
But they do understand. That means nothing if it's unprofitable. A corporation exists purely to make money NOW and a well-run corporation will do so by any means available, ethics and good intentions be damned. Corporations can only be stopped by legal guardrails and the rare pushback strong enough to create a negative financial impact.
If we’re going to log, we need a plan to log in segments that rotate on multi hundred year scales.
Decades for softwood, centuries for hardwood.
Japan figured this out hundreds of years ago and devised methods to regrow trees faster, straighter, and with denser wood. We can learn to do that too.
Japan also never logged yakushima, only cutting selective trees for important temples
Thankfully this has completely stopped and yakushima now relies on big tree tourism
What's going on Canada?
