    Something randomly just popped into my head. A tactic of people trying to stop deforestation is to put like metal (I’m assuming rebar) in trees to destroy the cutting equipment. Did I just make that up, or is that a thing? Thanks!

      No you didn’t, it’s called tree spiking. It was highly popular in the 70s to reduce the expansion of suburbs. Here’s a book describing it

      https://www.britannica.com/topic/Earth-First

      Earth First! was widely known for its tactics. It generally eschewed the lobbying and political deal-making associated with mainstream environmental organizations. Instead, its activists typically engaged in nonviolent direct action, such as civil disobedience to block environmentally harmful activities and “monkeywrenching” (the sabotage of machinery involved in environmental destruction). In the first years after the group’s formation, the use of direct actions—standing in front of bulldozers and putting spikes (e.g., metal rods or nails) in trees to prevent them from being cut—brought national news coverage to Earth First!. The group subsequently grew.

    I’m for this compromise on gun control. Only the trees get guns because they’re not hasty.

    I am the Lorax, I speak to the trees, and the trees speak Vietnamese.
