I think we need more trees and recycles?

I believe that there is already a logging system in place. Carefully controlled logging actually helps forests regenerate. There are many animals that cannot live in dense, old forests. Deer, for example, thrive on saplings and young vegetation. There is a huge difference between clear-cutting and logging.

repeat destroying and constructing.\n\nbut for me hopeful planting trees so that you can take care of it through your generations, grand, father-mother, kid and grand-children.... takes long period.

Where's it's economically viable to recycle we should, when not, we should reuse, and if that doesn't work, then start with new.  \n\nWe are NOT running out of landfill space, we are SO far away from that it isn't even funny.  We could build a single land fill 24 miles wide and it'd be enough to throw everything away for the next 5000 years, and we could use the methane to power Las Vegas.  \n\nRecycling paper to save trees is like recycling tortillas to save corn.  They aren't chopping down 500 year old red woods so you can read a news paper.

yes i'm excited and hopeful, but we still need to rid ourselves of bush..............more trees less bush!

I believe that we should stop and preserve more for wildlife. I LOVE animals with everything I own. They are so kool!!! So maybe someone should start a petition or start something to stop the killing of wildlife and habitats!!!!

I'm beginning to be convinced....Seems like nature loves recycling...Oxygen, water, why not us?

Definitely, we are running out of natural resources. We should do our bit to save wat we have... Every tiny drop makes an ocean...

Exactly. A far bigger emphasis should be put on environment protection than it is getting now. Everybody and every country is only looking at their own interests while the amazing rainforests are being cut and the waters full of oil.. \nI'm from east Europe, air pollution is a big problem here too, still only few people think and talk about these. I hope they won't realise the importance of this when it will be already irreversible.

One reason maybe the pollutants that are in the areas that will be reflooded.  We do not know the impact they will have on the rest of the ecosystem.

The way I see it is: as a society we are mass consumers. We buy, use a little, then throw away. Very wasteful. If you can reuse something, it puts a smaller demand on resources and your own pocketbook, not to mention the impact that recycling has on the environment that we live in. It's too bad that we are trained to just be consumers and not to see ahead enough to recognize the problems associated with this consumerism. Good Luck! That's my two bits.

more land with no trees.

Yes the forests are disappearing but little is being done to address this issue. Lumber companies in all provinces are supposed to put money into reforestation and the companies are falling short. Government talks a big talk but over the last 25 years have cut funding drastically in this area.Trees do more than help clean the air. They support wildlife and prevent soil erosion and so on. Species  of wildlife will be extinct if something is not done and fast. Where is the governments new environment act..........Oh yeah, that was a lie too. If we all planted one tree a year it would be like a hug to the earth.

I still believe that most of must wants to preserve the nature, however it is the conflict of interest that is preventing us from doing so,  because of the development and modernization of our world some natural habbitat are being destroyed. We focus more on modernization thus conservation of nature is being taken for granted.

YES YES YES!\n\nThe only way to reduce our dependence on foreign sources of oil in the near future is to drill for more oil HERE!\n\nIf the tree huggers don't like it tell them to stop driving cars, using electricity and heating their homes so there is more oil for the rest of us.\n\n****\n\nHey Gonzo, If by conservation you mean saving every bug, animal and tree on the face of the earth so you can have a pretty view as you drive your SUV through the country yeah I've heard of that. If left up to you folks we’d all be living out in the woods singing kumbuya hugging the trees, eating mushrooms, berries and getting eaten by wolves and bears. \n\nThis nation needs energy. Currently our best source of energy comes from oil, coal and natural gas. Now, if you can come up with a better way to get those things out of the ground with out harming all of your bugs and trees I'd love to hear about it. After we're done pulling all the resources out, so you can be nice safe and warm in your home.  I'm all in favor of planting trees there, they do grow back you know...  As for me when I have to choose between heating my home and saving a tree or the squirrel that lives in that tree. The tree and the squirrel are going to loose every time.

Global warming is becoming a problem\nLandfills are overcrowded\nIt saves us from having to use new natural resources when there is a limted amoutn of natural resources. example: paper\nhttp://www.epa.gov/recyclecity/
