To clarify, I don't think that harvesting trees is going to destroy the environment. I just think radical positions like earth day is anti-human or harvesting trees will cause mass flooding and ruined water supplies are unproductive. Sometimes, the needs of people outweigh the needs of the environment, sometimes its the other way around. I think my point is that the public discourse on issues like these and others are marred by radical interest groups (both liberal and conservative) who care only about putting their point forward.
