| Message | Often, replacement levels are not enough for wildlife to return to the area. And the logging companies plant only one kind of tree to get the most profits, so not that many species of animals can live there. Water quality depends on many things. |
| Date | 18:06:09, January 13, 2006 CET | From | Rationalist Party | To | Debating the PPT Platform: Ecology |
| Message | I would agree with both, as industry can treat its own water (and often does not need drinking quality) and replacement levels should be higher because of die off |
