Suzuki’s essay on Forests is far more focused on hope, and giving reason to support our change to a more environmentally conscious society.

He even points out the other aesthetic benefits of forests that we often take for granted, and would sorely miss, if we continue to scorn all the warnings. His other essay regarding mining is a little more of a depressing read. His tendencies in this essay veer more towards issues political in nature to philosophical .

If certain trees need to be cut down, however, then theses should be replaced by enough young trees which can fill the same role to an equal extent as the ones which are cut down. Here it’s important to acknowledge that it’s impossible to eliminate deforestation completely since the growing population puts a high demand for more land which is used for agricultural purposes.
