What is the answer to deforestation?
The best answer is to at least replant where you tear down.
Plant life is supposed to be the ultimate renewable source of many things…shelter, clothing, food, protection…and it makes no sense to tear down everything without replanting.
The best idea is if you’re going to tear down a forest, do so in steps. Take down a small portion and replant. While it’s growing to adulthood, take down another section of forest and again replant. Now there are two sections growing back while more sections of the forest can be prepared for further removal
