More importantly, it take a LOT longer to grow back more lumber on a cler-cut area, than on a properly-managed area. Strip-mining is only efficient in truly huge deposits, and then requires a abnornally large plot of land to place your top-coveronto while you're mining the values out, and as for the ozone hole, hurt/dying customers generally aren't repeat buyers. The bottom line on a conservative approach to conservation is this: Pollution is WASTE. An efficient enterprise wastes a little as possible, because it's money spent that produces little revenue, and often negative revenue. . . -- Keith A.
