“Enviro-Mentalists” (TM) think trees are like rocks and go on forever, and if you remove it, it’s gone forever and can never be replaced.
Thing about environuts is that they don’t seem to get it that not even rocks, mountains, oceans, planets and stars go on forever. Even the starlight we see at night traveled millions and billions of light years to our eyes, but the stars that produced the light might no longer exist. The only constant in the universe is change. God designed it that way for His purposes so, although we must be good stewards of his creations on earth, we cannot alter the grand design.
