   NA> When I was a little boy I remember the grocery stores switched from paper

   NA> plastic because of the trees... Oh we just have to save the trees. Save   
   NA> the trees, save the forest, which eventually became save the   
   NA> rainforest.   
       
   When I was a little boy, there were no bags in grocery stores. You brought   
   your own linen bags which grqndma made from discarded garments ...... but   
   because of the Panamanian rainforest declining there is less run-off of water   
   to the higher-up lakes whose levels are lowering and ships have been warned to   
   take smaller loads through the Panama canal or they may not fit over certain   
   underwater ridges ... The Panama canal closing down due to not enough run-off   
   water would substantially harm world trade ... The declining rainforst is   
   worth saving not just for the Panama canal and world trade ... bio-diversity   
   is pretty important and nowhere else than in the tropical rainforests ...   
       
   NA> What a bunch of liberal hippie nonsense. All of it.   
       
   That is a pretty immature statement from someone I consider to be intelligent.
