I'll go with both sides to a point.
I love trees etc, but realize "managed logging" makes senses.
I hate when around here they bulldoze everything to put up buildings or houses. Yes much was farm land, but they still clear it.
But managed logging of forrests makes sense in many ways.
You can limit fire hazard.
When trees are too packed together none of them do well.
But mostly a young forest / tree is really much better environmentally. Younger forests consume much more CO2 per acre than old growth, and old growth tends to have a lot of brush, leaves etc at the floor decomposing giving off CO2.
So if we manage the logging we can have some of each.
I also recycle as much paper as I can to limit the amount of fressh pulp needed.
