What? I know someone who owns a company involved with lumber processing. He said more trees get planted as demand goes up.

it should be obvious, but this does nothing to develop an untouched forest that develops into old-growth without being 'sustainably harvested' or otherwise.

You've described a self-serving process of ensuring one's own business, or a state forestry syndicate ensuring a commercial forest business-ecosystem.

Conflating these with a process of redeveloping and protecting old-growth forests (for hundreds of years into the future) is either useful-idiocy, veiled greed, or a worse evil.

and despite these words, your response is likely to be a galvanization of your initial position.

did you? The company is in PA. It plants new forests.

Lets talk about whats going on now, not 200 years ago. We are all aware of the clearcutting done in PA hundreds of years ago.

If you want new forests NOW then buy paper. The history of clearcutting doesnt change this.

You didn't describe a sustainability plan. Unless you can demonstrate that you're not unknowingly repeating corporate propaganda, you's just singin' someones blues

the sustainability plan would be to plant more trees because consumer demand is going up. basic economics

you've demonstrated you are avoiding the topic of old growth forests.

So all of this thread was willful misdirection.
