In the U.S. we have more trees now than 1000 years ago! This is because man replenishes and nourishes new growth trees!In the past forest fires would run for years, consuming forests and prairies - human beings put out forest fires! That is another reason why we have more trees now than in our distant past!
P.S.
With all of this %26quot;green%26quot; bio-diesel fuels and ethanol added to gasoline, farmland that used to be used for growing food are now being used for bio fuels! Food prices are on the increase!
With all of these cars going to %26quot;Hybrid%26quot; battery power - where will these dangerous batteries go? Batteries in these hybrid vehicles are hazardous waste!

Most people don%26#039;t care about the environment because they do not think it is important. They do not realize that all of their modern day needs come from nature, like the clothes on their back and coffee in their mug. They like to say that they are too busy, but the truth is, they are lazy. They just figure that someone else will do it.

I think most people don%26#039;t care for the environment because they don%26#039;t how important it is and how much impact it has on their life and the generations to come. I think if people realized what global warming would cause they would start caring and would be more %26quot;green%26quot;, but there are always people who are not effected greatly by global warming and then do not care just because they do not feel the effects and see no problem, they%26#039;re ignorant.
