@tke466 we plant more trees than we cut down? My father was a union worker for 30 some plus years and cut down trees everyday for roads and parking lots. He never mentioned once about planting a tree in place of one he cut down. His company never did either. I'd like you to point me toward these numbers about how were planting more than cutting, it would honestly make me feel better if it were true. And who is the royal "We"? the U.S.A. or the whole world? Thank you for any information on this.

You failed to mension that Henry Ford invented a car completely made out of hemp and could run on hemp ethanol !! and that was in the early 1900's Big business mostly Dupont petro company pushed hemp to be illegal. They seen it as a threat to big business cause hemp is a renewable resource and could create everything we know today. The untied states has some of the biggest players in these businesses and they still are.why hemp is illegal ! All these brainwashed people in here WAKE UP

Why argue when there is only one truth. Don't be fooled into your own beliefs. Everything you think is a bi product of the information your consciously and subconsciously subjected to.

@tke466 But we didn't plant nearly as many trees as we cut down in the amazon. Your an idiot as of 12/1/11 you have no real rights if the government decides.

@cpobeck Or we can learn to re uses materials, stop polluting our resources, and stop being ignorant ass holes.

@Ajboi89 You should try and do some real research on PCB's and DDT. Two major toxins you have stored in your fat cells. You can bitch all you want about how luck you are to be able to hear the truth.

I have a solution. COMMUNISM!

[Incogneto100]

Tis is what people need to start watching and be done with the nonsense in this world.

For those of you who recognize how we are destroying our very planet I advise watching Zeitgeist: Moving Forward, available on youtube, that has everything to do with what is discussed here and offers a viable solution.

One example, is the Weyerhaueser site there are thousands more if you look,

it would be foolish, from the Christmas tree seller all the way to wood suppliers not to replant in a free market economy.Planned or command economies that I visited before the wall fell had no such systems in place, much like the lack of polution control devices and unleaded gas which became available, AFTER the wall fell,and started a FREE economy.

I generally like this series but this one completely misses the boat. In fact, it's outright propaganda. Everyone involved in the supply chain chose to be there because they thought it was in their best interests. If you decide not to buy something because you think someone is being exploited in its production than you just took money our of their pockets. Without your purchases they lose their employment.
