And cuz so many times somebody or the state here plans to harves their land, a group of people forms a "Friends Of" group and gets it stopped because they don't want their hiking trail or view messed up or 99 more reasons. Wood has to come from somewhere...

I wonder if any studies have been done on the impact of the loss of the Amazon's trees and oxygen and/or CO2 levels in the atmosphere . I sure do like to breathe every now & then(to keep up appearances):monkey:

But you're right, eating is always tops on the list if breathing is taken care of.
