A yard tard is the consumers view of a highly trained and experienced tradesman doing some of the most dangerous, technical and physically demanding work.
A respected pro from our perspective would be a plumber.
Forest preservation for improving our bottom line? This will take more than a one line reply.
Some of us will hug an old beat up street tree. Meanwhile on the edge of town three bulldozers are plowing down 20 large trees and millions of smaller ground cover per minute. There's no border at the edge of town where reality changes. It's one big picture, one planet. Doesn't that guy on the side of the road licking that dusty tree look silly.
Urban trees are locally and globally benificial but compared to a forest they are mere pet trees. The additional components that come with a mature forest exist only in the deep dark woods. I shouldn't need to explain this.
How acknowledging this crisis would improve our image would be to turn us into serious tree saviors. Could almost be held in religious appreciation(mo better tips or donations). Every human likes trees as much as kittens. Somewhere deep inside we have a primative need for trees. It seems like common sense to me to at least discuss it. I'm not saying chain yourself to a logging truck. Funding climbing preserves for example wouldn't save many trees but it's symbolic(bluff). I really don't want to go to a gathering of trees guys being offered in a hotel banquet hall or even a city park if there was an option to celebrate trees in the deep dark woods. The mood would be more relaxed and fun.
A good salesperson can bluff the public their tree has immense value and is worth investing $20,000 in maintenance work. Where did that $20,000 come from? At what expense to the enviroment was that surplus money raised? How many commutes, how many pieces of future garbage were shipped from China? How many trees were bulldozed into burn piles to preserve that backyard beauty?
Even the tree buzz spell check even says I misspelled primative and enviroment. It's early, my eye sight's going and I just got home form a road trip but I can't see it.
