pbj not to sound like i am bashing ya or nothin but the last time i 
checked trees were a renewable resource . yes it does take longer to grow 
but that is why selective cutting was created.  you selectively cut 
certain trees and leave others to grow then you replant the trees you took 
in the end everything ballances.  and as far as pesticides trees dont need 
those either .  

     I was born and raised in a small northern wisconsin town that 
survived off of the paper mill there i have been to many of there 
operations because my father is a foreman there using selective cutting 
process i have never seen an area were the wood was harested for our mill 
that suffered.  we still had plenty of animals and birds and bugs in those 
areas as in others in fact there were at times even more because it 
created open spaces for food to grow for the herbavores.  

well thats enough for nowoh one last thing the mills in wisconsin also 
used a mixture of 50% wood 50% recycled paper now i cant speak for the 
rest of the mills b ut this works just great and wiscosin still has 
lots-o-trees.  :)
