Save The Trees!!! :D

John Muir makes really good points about how stupid people can be when it comes to trees and saving forests. I absolutely agree with him and think that the trees should be looked at as Christ-figures. They take care of us and nurture the planet, trees like the Calaveras King Sequoias and other giant red woods should be respected even more because of their massive size and rarity. Although, in the people's defense who stripped one hundred and sixteen feet of bark from a Calaveras to bring back to England, they just wanted to evoke wonder and awe in people. Times were much more innocent back in the twenties and they probably didn't know how scarce and vital trees would become at a time like this. Now is not the time to be cutting down trees for useless things like that or the other example of using a stump for a dance floor. These trees need to be protected, and a percentage is. No printer paper/toilet paper is worth cutting down one of those magnificent trees. I have been to a red wood preserve near the Coast of California and I will always remember my time spent there.
