To protect our forests from improper use - for example , if you suspect that the forest companies who have been allowed to cut trees, are actually cutting down whole trees for making wood pellets - it is essential that these companies must be continually inspected by many different inspectors with never any notice given.

These companies must also be trained - and inspected also - to make certain that all trees harvested are replaced - by planting a larger number of younger trees that will absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide from the air per day as the harvested trees did before harvesting. This could easily mean that for each tree cut down - 20 younger trees would be planted.
I have read that often only 3 or 4 young trees are planted as replacement for one cut down.

These companies must also learn to chip up all non- wanted branches/waste and return the chips to farmers or others who know how to compost this waste - and who will do so.
