What is the problem with cutting trees down?

To make room for humans. We seem intent on destroying our planet.

To allow man to survive. Fortunately many areas are like North America where trees and forests are growing in acres, numbers and density.

Remember that 100 years ago, a forest fire could go on for months and destroy millions of acres. Today we can stop these fires.

There are many reasons for cutting the trees example:

• For making stationary
• For making furniture
• For making houses/tree houses
• For making paper
• For making medicines
• For burning fire

To clear land for farming and for building. In many cases, trees were planted to BE cut. They are a crop, like wheat or corn, and are used to make paper of building lumber.

The simple answer is to obtain wood; but there is more to it than that:

• To produce paper pulp.
• To clear land for cash crops.

The latter use is more damaging as it is usually unmanaged forest that is cleared, destroying entire ecosystems.

Because governments worldwide have a strangle hold on the hemp industry preventing the growing of hemp fiber which could easily replace the wood pulp fiber used in paper making.

People are cutting trees down so that they can make paper, houses and stuff like that.

Farmers cut down trees and harvest them to clear land for crops or pasture.

Because are capitalist economy makes it profitable and rewarding to commercially harvest the world's forests like a crop.
