   As I've typed here-abouts before .... Logging Companies should be   
   required to plant a tree (or two or three) for each three they cut down   
   .... so in 30/40/50 years these new trees can be cut down .... to save   
   what's left of our old forests.   
      
   The 'new' trees could be planted in straight lines to make harvesting   
   easier.
