“Stumping” grounds.

They’re treed off

That’s the situation down in Brazil. I forget the exact total of ground that is newly treeless since last year but it’s very large.

as the Lorax said “UNLESS”

Watch out for the Supreme Court

How’s that ol’ saying go again, “If a tree falls in the woods and there’s no other trees around does it make a sound?”

Who speaks for this tree?

Don’t look now but here come the paving machines…

♫♪

They took all the trees, and put em in a tree museum

And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them

♪♫

Not easy to go to the woods when you has to share a single common one.

That’s the site of the new “Maple Forest Housing Development”.

The Vogons missed one.

This is happening to rain forests all over the world……

Reminds me of this video from a couple of years ago of an orangutan fighting a bulldozer as it cuts it’s tree down.

Sad but so true. The human race can often be like a plague of locusts upon the earth, chewing up everything in their path. Worse than locusts given our supposed intelligence.

Good for them. If only humans understood this concept and got it sooner.

Sad,,

should be all the different bird species up in the tree.

My goodness this is sad :-(

So sad…

Humans really suck sometimes …
