   Compare the two photos below … which is worse?

   One reflects a large amount of emotional and psychological damage. When we saw that the iconic tree at Hadrian’s Wall had been cut down, evidently in an act of vandalism, our souls suffered.

   The second photo reflects a huge amount of physical damage to our environment, to biodiversity, and ultimately to the climate. Yet it’s just a random shot of quotidian deforestation. Nothing special about it. Nothing unusual at all.

   Do you know that over 40,000,000 (forty million!) trees are cut down *every day* in the world? THAT is the true outrage.
