What If We Planted a Trillion Trees?
While it's hard to argue that planting trees is not a good thing (because it is a good idea), there is so much questionable in this video, it would take a large book to counter all the false claims.
In America, revising and replacing the failed doctrine of "Protect and Preserve" that the USFS is steeped in, would be the first step. We MUST quit listening to the radical environmentalists' jargon and return to the LAW - Multiple Use and Sustained Yield kind of management.
That law was working perfectly before the Environmental Protection Act and Endangered Species Act came along. American forests were healthy during that time frame. Now, the forests are all old growth... dead and dying.
Healthy forests are a combination of new, middle, and old growth intermingled. By "Protecting and Preserving" everything, our forest's health has steadily declined over the last 50+ years. Most properly trained professional foresters KNOW that the current policies are wrong, but they run into the radical environmental wall when arguing for a change in that policy. The "environmental bankroll" (money) speaks too loudly to Congress for them to stand up to the insanity.
Congressional elections matter!!! Electing greedy individuals who put their personal greed before the country's best interest on these and other issues is taking us down the trail to disaster. We MUST elect people who can see the truth and will change or replace the current environmental laws with some that promote immediate changes in USFS and BLM policies regarding how to manage our public lands.
Restoring true health to the forests will eventually bring down the level of intense wildfires. This will also bring down the costs of managing the wildfires and add to the American economy positive growth.
Dead and dying forests benefit no one! Leaving them to burn benefits no one or nothing! -- Jerry Smith, Director of Environmental Affairs for the United Four Wheel Drive Associations
