Sigh. I was a tree planter for 2 summers in my youth. We went out to plant
trees to show that ye olde forest companies cared about what they were doing.
An lo and behold, they DID care...now. The clearcuts I planted were over
80 years old, and ye olde forest company was just getting around to
replanting them. If YOU had read MY message carefully, you would note that
never once did I criticize the  current policies of the forest companies.
I think that they are at least attempting to do some damage control
now (under gov't and citizen pressure, for the most part). HOWEVER
(and note the capitals) had they done this when they first started,
we would not be having this discussion now. The main point of my previous
letter was (and I will state it because you obviously missed it the
first time around): A little thought and planning today prevents trouble
in the future. Personally, I quite like wood products...but (yet another but)
I go out of my way to use as few of them as possible, and those intelligently.
ie: no paper bags, and I use as much recycled stuff as I can.
  If my being 'environmentally aware' puts you out of a job, well, I'm
sorry (sort of)...but you can always be retrained...trees can't.
(same goes for spotted owls...at least I don't know of anyone who has
managed to train a spotted owl to work at McDonalds)
