A few hundred people have turned out to protect historic century-old ginkgo trees that are likely to be chopped down under a controversial redevelopment for a beloved Tokyo park district.

    Check out how much is made from wood. You’re idea is cute, but not that viable.

    I’m not arguing for the felling of those trees.

      That wood comes from plantations. What does it have to do with felling old trees for the sake of development instead of working around them?

        The previous poster talks about trees in general. So did I. I even clarified that I’m against chopping down these particular trees. The wood you use in your day to day love most certainly doesn’t stem from plantations. A part of it yes, but that also varies a lot depending on where in the world you are.

          Here in the nordics at least i genuinely don’t think any wood doesn’t come from plantations, either it’s plantation or you’re not allowed to chop it down for lumber.
