Trees have been part of the structure of the planet for a long time. They are a part of the eco system that we are also part of. The destruction of the rain forest other tree systems for profit hurts this system on many levels. We don’t know what the long term effect of this damage is going to have. Trees operate on a different time frame to us. There cycle of renewal is far slower then ours but still they have endured a far longer time on this planet then us. The relative health of our world is reflected by its abundances of life. Threes are the nursery of many species including our own. If loving you home is being a tree hugger then I am one and happy to be called one too. Because I love my home, this planet, and I have real respect for trees and the part the play in it survival. It is hard to find a single thing that we have given to this world that could be said it was for the long term good of it. Yes we have saved and protected things but mainly from us and the effects we have caused. If we plant trees and succeed in reversing the trend of their destruction then maybe this will be something to be proud of in world terms.
