| Message | No the cliche goes "you can't see the forest for the trees", which I'm interpreting here to mean that saving forests for the sake of trees makes no sense. The bigger picture is property rights of businesses, which use those trees as a natural renewable resource to continuously boost our economy. |

| Message | I know the saying. It means that you can't appreciate what trees represent. Helping to reduce CO2 emissions, habitats for many of our native species ... Not just using the trees as money. |
