Why our epidemic destroying Trees Now?
We
city folks have blinders to our massive deforestation going on earth for 500
years of world empire progress.
Even cathedrals were built with 1000s of trees each over decades to
centuries of hard-labor logging & cutting them down to put up stone towers of
holy-warship.
Before
our monster cities, people could see the forests disappearing around them in Europe,
China, India & U$, etc. Now citizens
have so much electric & petro power tech nology occupying our minds, homes
& work, we donÕt see the forests trees, except in yards parks & photos..
Unless you go hiking in the wilderness, thru a clear cut shocking, sad &
upsetting like seeing a war zone after attacks. Its like we donÕt notice our dumping toxic pollution in air,
water, farms & ground (land fills), that gradually poisons watersheds, food
& bodies getting sick from chemical karma attack, then driving to Md for
rescue fix.
The
effects of deforestation are so vast, far away & long-term we must study
them in- depth to learn how destructive clear-cutting = forest rape & plunder
really are beyond our mind span.
We learned most empires
have deforested their lands & gone far to get more lumber, like we now ship
logs across the pacific. 1000s of logs going both ways across the oceans &
back as products made in Japan. The waste of fuel, steel & greenhouse gases to ship over
the sea we donÕt know either, except by #s.
Empires
deforesting themselves to death is just bad history tales of cultural suicide &or
genocide. We even killed off &
removed Indians in America so we could develop their homelands, forcing them to
ŌreservationsÕ of barren ŌbadlandsÕ that white-men donÕt want because they wonÕt
grow the foods we need.
It
seems our empire will go like past empires collapse, cutting-down forests for
wood & land to graze cattle to kill & eat as meat. Our vision of causes
& effects cycles so dim & dull, we donÕt see the consequences of our
harvesting natures abundance for our extravagant luxury, common comfort &
good taste. Imported by hi tech polluting
engines, are symbols of our pride in empire progress.
Most
people don-t know thereÕs ecocide happening in the forest until it floods over
us, or burns down homes now, long before any shortages of wood products. Even then they complain about the lack,
loss & need they have for it. Like
someone addicted to their source of supplies, numb dependence bitching about
their missing fix.
Or
the worst-case of economic-collapse from stupid-greedy-speculating with mass
denial & corruption so now common we expect & need the lies to justify our wasting
resources, toxic polluting & ignoring renewable energy cycles. Oh well, ho hum, apathy, ignorance &
addiction are epidemic habits & trends of unconscious games of consuming imported treats beyond our
natural needs. Popular distractions
of entertaining fantasy must blind us to pure wilderness blessings &
disappearing trees from logging & wasting Ōendless supplyÕ from our craving
in guts of private guilt-ridden empire desires.
Happy
shoppers living in plans & expecting wealth of nations conquering nature &
pay-ing for oil wars for more novelty & control. So passing on the pollution to our childrenÕs families to die
like we do, or wake up realiz-ing how & why deforesting our habitats is
long-term suicide & murder of animals life & making tons of greenhouse
gases heating up our biosphere into climate ecospasms. Is it even possible to restore raped
forests before it kills us with climatastrophe or wildfires or drout. It takes
decades to reforest & centuries to restore old~growth forests to the lush multi-layered
greenness of fertile life.
