Wood products are a renewal resource we all need.  A segment of our human race thinks that humanity is a blight on the earth.  These radicals want not only to make it difficult and expensive for us to survive but believe that plants and animals are to be protected over mankind.  I think that people are part of the ecosystem as well as the plant and animal  kingdoms.  People live longer than ever before as our world is cleaner and safer for the those who live here.  All regulations for the protection of species need to be looked at for cost benefit to humanity.  Species went extinct before any of the earth was industrialized.  Scientist have spent time proving that the earth had previous ice ages and tropical climates that came and went.  All of this was prior to the industrialized world.  Let us respect mankind. I think that it is wrong to have regulated the timber industry to this extent and put people in need out of jobs.
