Metchosin - Theres a book you would enjoy reading..."The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight" by Thom Hartmann. It details precisely how a whole series of dominant civizations have destroyed their environment and themselves by...cutting down virtually all their trees! It then points out what is happening worldwide now, regarding that same disastrous trend. One difference...This time it's a worldwide civilization that is doing it and there is no huge unspoiled continent or region left to migrate to and start over...this is the endgame.
