While politicians stand up for the economy and promise more jobs, better services, and so forth the bottom line is they are the ones sanctioning the destruction of the environment. The timber industry in Australia employs hundreds of loggers, machinists, carpenters, drivers, and others, including all the office workers and so on. It also targets forests where animals are dependent on the habitat and food they provide and the earth depends on the oxygen and removal of CO2 from the atmosphere.
