It is true they did not allow selective logging.... I have heard there is a timber concession located south of Nelson, B.C. dating back to the late 1800's and owned since that time by a German family. This private timber company selectively logs about the same amount of wood every year on a sustainable basis. There are private roads and log landings through the timber concession, but no clear cut blocks. They are lucky the previous communist government didn't confiscate the timber concession via expropriation or some other ruse for the greater good (of the B.C. communist party cadre). ....In the end all materials, supply energy and environment problems boil down to one fundamental greater root problem. Overpopulation. All environmentalists could do their part and become part of the solution: at least get sterilized, or better yet, commit hari kari for mother earth.

Eric....., what is the model for "population control", "living within economic reality", "sustaining a society within its territorial boundaries"......... doesn't modern day Europe come closer than anything else thus far....?? is there a role model out there for us to follow, shall we define "us" It is absolutely certain that all the people in the world cannot maintain the same standard of living or use the same amount of energy as Canadians or Americans do. We would run out of many things in about 50 years. Although there are probably ten times the oil we thought there was at one time, there are easily ten times the people that may wish to use oil at far greater rates than they are doing now. In the end all materials, supply energy and environment problems boil down to one fundamental greater root problem. Overpopulation
