In Response To: Cedar, redwood, spruce, etc. regrets (Nick Schade - Guillemot Kayaks)

I live in that far away province of British Columbia and I have seen the clearcuts that extend over the horizon in all directions without regard to creeks, mountain peaks or anything else. The majority of the timber harvesters because they are cutting crown land (public land) have nothing in there agenda but to cut everything that might make a buck. As for toilet paper, forget it, newsprint uses 40% of all timber harvested. In this electronic age how can reading newspapers be justified? My 2 cents, I could go on for a couple of dollars worth but this just isn't the proper place. :-)
