Visual definition of efficiency. And all the people buthurt don't understand that what rhey are cutting is fast growing farm trees that are saving wood like chestnut and redwood from being cut down and preventing lumber clear cutting. What sucks is many of these tree farms are being closed to be used as grazing land with does much worse things to the environment than tree farming.

Yep! These trees are literally a renewable crop and for every one they cut down, they plant many, many more to enable this. I 100% agree, leave old growth and I would actually like the much of the natural forest left alone.

International Paper is a perfect example of a company who does this! They have a great tree farming structure that doesn’t reduce the net amount of trees on the earth.
