QUESTION:

Are wood roofs bad for the environment because they destroy trees or good because they promote planting them?

ANSWER

The only good and bad I see in these kinds of deliberations is that though environmentalism was a good idea which held that we can improve the quality of our life by keeping our surroundings (environ in French) clean and supportive of the quality of life of us humans, at some point it became extended to a tree hugger version where the surroundings (environ) became our god, and we became its caretakers and worshippers. It is thus that environmentalism has become a religion.

Humans are an intelligent species but they have a goofy side.
