just for a future referance, yes trees are our natural suply of oxygen and the government needs to limit themselves on the destruction of our forests. BUT plastic is toxic when its either melted down and inhaled or if its swallowed in large quantilties. to get rid of wooden products is to put more children in danger of swallowing harmful chemicals or things that have to be surgically removed from thier bodies, as the human body can breakdown wood, it just takes alot of effort. also we would be emitting more greenhouse gasses into the planet. harming ourselfs and the wildlife more so than just cutting down a tree and replacing it with two. plastic gets stuck in land fills, forever, and then animals are suficated and killed, and then the waste takes up all of our space. at this point we are trying to eliminate plastic as an everyday by product because it is harmful to everything and everyone on this planet. wood may by a natural product that needs to be used less often, but for now, its going to be a better sollution than plastic.
