i just feel sad that i saw a lot of trees cut off

tree will cut for every land that man need to stay, it's not a big supprise if you saw an forest that become big city in 10 years or lesser, it because human population increased amazingly for every 1 hour.

I could not agree with you more. I live in Canada, right beside the Rocky Mountains, a few years back, the Government made it illegal to clear cut trees. But it was not soon enough. When you travel through the Rockies, you will still see the damage done by the logging companies and will take about 50 more years to be repaired (trees grow back). It is disgusting and just completely destroying nature. It is such a catch 22. If we as a society didn't need wood products, there would be no need for it. But, unfortunately, we still are using paper products at a record high and we as a society need to change that. The population growth in the world is not helping much either as we do require more business and homes to continue. Such a great discussion....

i agree with you, we need to understand that trees are our life-lines, today we are living in concrete jungles. our environment has changed due to reckless cutting down of the trees. its so soothing to see the greenery around us. trees not only provide us shade but plays an important role in water cycle too. Mostly here in India trees are cut down for urbanization. we must realise the importance of trees before its too late.

Cutting tress without seeking the permission from the government is a crime. Th government has the right to arrest those ones who does such illegal cultural activities. I had also seen that most of the tress near the road parking are cut down. They provided me a good shelter during the sunny days but now it is not there. I feel very sad about that huge tree which gave me some shelter as well as some coolness.

We have a law against illegal cutting of trees. Perhaps we could focus more on the implementation of such laws. In fact you can not cut a tree without making a replacement. Being a citizen of this country, everyone has the right to question the validity of that act if in case we came across this situation. We can report them to the authorities nearest to us. Preserving our environment is everyone's concerned. Last year, we have a tree planting activity on selected places all over the region. The aim of the activity is to replenish the trees that were lost due to illegal cutting activities of some bad elements of the society. This is one of the Millennium Development Goals. Goal 7:Ensure Environmental Sustainability. Let's do our part. Let's help the government realized the goals. We have merely 3 years to do it. 2015 is the target year.

I know what you mean, when I was 9, I moved into a town and at that time , there were only a few buildings around, others are just trees and more trees. But just after five years, the town developed. It's was so fast! And I was there to see it all happened! Tress are cut down to make way for lousy concrete buildings, and (quite entertaining but still lousy) malls and shops... Its so sad! And given that I'm very sensitive when it comes to pollution, I can officially say...I am not as healthy as I used to be because of these developments...:(

Some people are stupid sometimes. There are laws prohibiting trees being cut down, so it was probably the government themselves. I hate the fact that our planet is growing less and less trees every day. It is really sad.

It is always a great disappointment to me when greatly wooded areas of beauty and like you said, a pleasant place to spend in its shade are cut away so drastically. Things like this should not be allowed. Sparse cutting I can see okay with but when large areas are just clear cut then I do not think that is fair and it is not good for the world. Maybe one day they can learn their own lesson of it but I hope before it is too late for us all. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.
