Why cut down every tree?

I am a greenie and always have been. Just not of the watermelon variety.

Me too!

My goodness, you both sound like, *GASP* - Greenies!

A long time ago I actually voted for the Greens - maybe 15 years ago?
But - that party was hijacked by homos and Marxists so they lost their original & correct ideas.

The government doesn't care about trees which is why they are clear felling forests and allowing land developers to also clear everything in sight.

They don't care about animal habitat either.

When I moved into my house 30 years ago.
We were advised that tree removal required council permission.
Long story short, one trees roots were damaging my garage floor, so I applied for that tree to be removed.
At first denied that, i asked how I go about taking legal action against the council to pay for the resulting damage.

Suddenly I was approved, however I had to plant two additional trees to replace them.

Fast forward 20 years
The beautiful lush bushland / farm across the road ( around 200 acres) was being razed to establish homes and retirement villages.
Where his the tree maintenance requirement?

Councils are idiots, counsellors more so.
Greenies are sychophants who allow these things to happen for other trade offs.
Like not back burning, the end result of which was the total destruction in an entire kola colony.

Hi Valkie,
I'm talking more about farm land.
100s of 1000s of square kms turned
into barren dust bowls by idiot farmers.
It's got to stop.
No one is doing anything about it.

' ........... The beautiful lush bushland / farm across the road ( around 200 acres) was being razed to establish homes and retirement villages......'

For me, that is distressing.
We drove through an area today we had not cycled through for a few years, the wildlife habitation destruction was appalling.
I felt sickened.
I yearned for some time in our Butterfly Forest

Interesting.

"The densities of the trees being put into the ground — 800 trees per hectare —
is far in excess of what the CSIRO recommends of 30 mature trees per hectare."

They cut a huge amount of trees in my city too.

Less trees > no shade > more heat > people won't walk under heat > they'll constantly use cars > gas stations make more money
