Thinking about the future of tomorrow.

When we cut down a tree to use it, we don't get angry if it's properly educated on how to cut it and where to cut it to leave it alive and continue producing wood. There are species that, if you leave just a small trunk, will continue producing wood for many years. I could tell you that over time, in Brazil, another species is the tihuilote. Look at the last photo in this article, and you'll know what I'm talking about.

People just want to cut down trees and use their wood without thinking about tomorrow. They cut them down from the root every time. When I talk to someone who's going to cut down a tree, I'm present, and I tell them to leave a meter of wood, and they'll have wood forever. It's like having the goose that lays the golden eggs. If you cut down the tree from the root, you're killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Of course, this trick requires patience because you have to be very careful. Many times, I've been lucky that in the region, the tree is a bit twisted at the base, so the person cutting it doesn't cut that part and cuts it from where they need it. I'm very grateful to some people for that. Everyone knows it, and I don't get angry if they take more, as long as they leave some remnants of the trunk so the tree can continue living.

But this usually doesn't happen. People, for convenience, just cut down trees without thinking about it. This should be taught in our schools all around the world, in all our countries, and I'm sure we would have a better world. Imagine countries where large forests are just cut down without caring about how many years, sometimes thousands of years, it took for them to form.

Humans are driven by the desire for money, and they just cut down trees without thinking about the consequences. Trees are an invaluable resource in our environment, not just for their beauty, utility, or versatility, but also for their importance in sustaining life.

So, let this reflection serve to continue our lives in a better way. There's wood for everyone, and there's a way to use it sustainably. This is a technique that is used a lot in Japan. I've written extensively about this and will continue to do so.

I hope you enjoy each photo you can see and appreciate each little tree, how it's formed, and how Mother Nature keeps it alive. If we could cut down giant trees and leave a giant stem so they could continue their cycle, it would be fantastic. We would have a lot of wood, like the great cedars of Lebanon, and we wouldn't have to worry about wood being a scarce resource. There would always be new wood without cutting down our forests, and the world would be a better place.
