OR coffee, tea or bananas
Reality Check: People cut down trees to cook with them.
If you build a cheap coal fired power plant, people will leave forested areas alone. That is exactly why the Northern Hemisphere has more trees now than 100 years ago. Because people started burning coal instead of Trees.
Wait until they discover where toilet paper comes from.....
Make them live up to their own rules.
Cultural suicide. Europe wants to make itself vanish and be replaced by barbarians and medieval serfs.
Bidet, mate!
The UK and much of Europe was deforested to make charcoal
The Great Plains had no trees to speak of, but the fertile lands of the Great Lakes states were covered by deep forests. It was states like Ohio Illinois Michigan etc that fed the new Republic until the frontier moved west.
No more French wine! No more Italian wine! Oh, the humanity!
I am shocked and outraged that the EU would ban foods from defrosted areas. It is entirely unnecessary for foods to be kept frozen in order to be safe and nutritious. This is just one more infuriating . . .
What? It’s not “defrosted” areas? It’s “deforested” areas?
Never mind.
The mid-west extends all the way to the eastern Ohio border and the Ohio Valley was once the homeland of multiple Siouxian tribes before the Huron and other tribes pushed them further west starting in the 15th century.
The Mandan, in particular, were quite adept at agriculture and cleared forests to make fields, using the timber to build earthen lodge villages both in their original homeland of the Ohio River Valley and they new adopted homeland of what is know the Knife and Missouri River Valleys in North Dakota.
By the time the white man came, the massive bison herds were much smaller herds at points in the eastern mid-west and didn't become massive until the grasslands really started about near what is now Lincoln, Nebraska in the more westerly part of the mid-west.
I hope they STARVE. EVERYWHERE food is grown was previously de-forested at some point, except natural savannas and the life. STARVE, COMMIES!
Clink, I made the same point. Except for natural pastures/savannas/prairies/etc, ALL farmland was forest.
The local zoning nazi fights with me all the time because I have more trees in my yard than he thinks I'm entitled to. I also have some of the lowest air conditioning bills in the neighborhood.
The squirrels do a bang up job of spreading oak trees around here to places they shouldn’t be such as my pepper plant pots or my raised beds. I can’t bring myself to kill a black oak seedling so I put them in large pots and try to find a friend with yard space to take a 4 foot seedling once they hit 4 to 5 feet they are ready for a permanent home. I have 5 this year four have found homes around dfw one is kinda my pet tree in the back porch now. It gets regular “nitrogen liquids” from this human.
There are more trees on Earth today than in 1925. This is just ridiculous.
Have fun creating higher prices for food and causing more shortages, EU. Not like supply lines will get it to you anyway...
Yes,
The whole thing is a farce. They just want to look green and ban imports from wherever they do not like them.
They should just say, “We do not like Bolsonaro, we will not import anything from Brazil until he is replaced by certified Marxist”.
