Good job on bringing these pictures to the consciousness of more people. We need to understand what is going on, and how unnecessary it is. There are sustainable forestry methods that can be used.

We need to start supporting those that are taking concrete and positive steps forward. Look up your local FSC-certified wood supplier next time you go to build!
