Hi Louis,

I LOVE pine tree forests...ahhh the fresh cedar fragrance, the mountain air.
I have a love affair with pine trees since I was born and I have 2 of them at the back of my garden.
Rain forest is not pine tree forest. Although it tends to rain a lot in mountains where pine trees grow. You can find great mushrooms under pine tree needles, I hear. Pine trees are great you can see them perched growing on a solid rock and you wonder where do they get all the nutrients.
Louis luckily there are a lot of nature areas untouched by civilization. If I drive up north in 4 hours I get there. However you have a good point - about natural areas on earth. We can all do out bit I guess by wasting less. Computers and electronic record keeping is great in saving forests. In my work building in the elevators there are notes about how much recycling was achieved that week and therefore how many trees were saved. Also recently they gave up on printing the payrolls on paper - saving hundreds of tons of pulp/trees and keep in mind avoiding the sludge produced in paper manufacturing.
Louis I think we are getting there, true we are at a turning point right now. Reptilians or warlords have only as much power as we give them.

love
