Anyway - I have a grandfather-in-law who is a biologist who lives in the deep forest and every year he manages it by thinning, clearing snags, and caring for his land. I'm aware of the benefit. My post is in response to the concept that without people around to manage it the Earth would just shrivel up and die - it was a snarky post meaning forest fires happen. They're supposed to. If people have to log, then log. Stop candy coating it.

We're just so wasteful in this country. Yeah, we depend on wood, it's a resource, but we're harvesting way more than we need (IMO), and for what we need, there are other alternatives.

It's kind of a pain at first, but it's worth it. We have four of the canvas bags for groceries and stuff, rolls of the biodegradable pet bags, and we wash and reuse lunch bags unless they've been used for marinating. We go even farther than that when possible, such as buying lettuce in the plastic containers, and now we no longer need tupperware or small storage bins :-) Because of our habits we put out one standard garbage can every two weeks. It feels good, and it's worth the extra effort.
