In Response To: Link, I hope. (Todd McGlaun)

I live in Oregon, we are talking about my backyard here. I fully agree that old growth shouldn't be used for pulp, and I think that industry is coming around. If for no other reason than that there are fewer and fewer old growth forests left... I feel more guilty living in a wood home, though I didn't build it, than I do about building boats. I use as much jobsite throwawy wood as possible (it's amazing what they pitch!), and wether we like it or not, we use a lot of wood products. Alas, we also live in a monetary world, and until cost is prohibitive we will continue to use wood.
