dump. Take trees, for instance. The rise of agriculture about 10,000 years ago augured ill for the world’s forests. Early farmers managed their land using slash-and-burn methods. They cut down forests, burned undergrowth and harvested crops until the soil was depleted of nutrients. As civilizations grew, more land was needed for people, more wood for construction and fuel. Early Greece was covered by forests. By the Fourth Century B.C. stark lands left by deforestation and ensuing erosion moved Pascal to compare the land of his native Attica to “the bones of a wasted body, the richer and softer parts of the soil having fallen away, and the mere skeleton of the land being left.” Man continued his rampage. Phillip II of Spain had to import oak for the planks and beams of his Armada as Spain’s woodlands were heavily exploited. By the 17th century, England had to import timbers for ships’ masts and keels from North America. Today, some 500 years after the first Europeans settled in the New World, very little of North America’s native forests remain. Canada is a northern country. Scientists have found that in our northern hardwood forests, it takes from 60 to 80 years for a new forest to grow on a clear-cut site; to be on the safe side, they recommend no logging for 110 to 120 years. We are logging trees only 20 to 30 years old. Man continues to harm trees. Sequoia trees high in the Sierras of the western United States are threatened by smog from Los Angeles. John Lojek, Elmira researcher, told the Ontario Maple Syrup Producers Association in February that acid rain is damaging maple trees; but the Ministry of Natural Resources told them trees are dying due to many causes, “but not acid rain.” It’s our country; it’s our land. Polluted lakes, fouled air, acid rain, accelerated extinction of species and loss of renewable physical resources are our legacy to the next
