[who knows what evil?]

And even a child knows there were more trees around 300 hundred years ago.

In that area, perhaps...but in Vermont; there are MORE trees than there were 300 years ago...farmland has disappeared at an alarming rate.

That’s good. At the national level though, it’s pretty obvious that that trend is the reverse.

..”farmland is disappearing at an alarming rate...”

Same thing in upstate New York. Vast acres of former fields are back to woods. I don’t know if this is good or bad in the big picture, but I do know that nature had no problem reforesting herself within 1 to 3 generations. The lorax is hype - I read it to my older daughters who are now in their early 20’s shen they were little and by the time the third one was old enough to be read to I realized it wsa propaganda and pitched it.
