I'm most certainly not a tree hugger. The destruction of our hardwood forests is rampant. There are very few if any laws, local or federal that oversee the developers. In our town alone we lose hundreds of acres every year to developers that clearcut forests for the tax right off. The occupancy rate for commercial buildings is at an all time low, yet they keep building because of the tax advantages. This is not tied to any political party. This is simply greed and nothing more. When the green is gone it will be to late, but then again maybe we can just paint the asphalt green.
