Tree huggers gone wild. The basic problem that these people fail to recognize is that trees are a renewable resource. Companies that provide trees cut down the trees and then plant new ones. Not to do so would be foolish for them since they would run out. To protect the environment they do not anymore clearcut an area. They checkerboard and replant quickly.
