I was kind of bothered today by the plight of the World's Smallest Monkey (see earlier) and all the other things on critically endangered lists. It's tiny face looking back through the glass and how it flitted about making it very difficult to catch and eat. A strategy that had served it well enough until quite recently...
Bothered, but not bothered enough to refrain from a long-haul flight to the other side of the world even to somewhere I've already been. And not bothered enough to refrain from buying a couple of sheets of plywood if I was needing some.
Therein lies the rub, what do you do? Make possession of plywood illegal? Ban foreign holidays? Or what, plywood rationing? Or a lottery system for holiday destinations? The Laminated Timber Taxation Bill? Foreign travel only for the incredibly rich? There's no going backwards, not willingly...
An early night with a mug of undiluted Roundup* may be the only realistic answer to many intractable questions concerning Human Nature.

As a gorilla, I find one of your earlier posts offensive. But I agree with you that people should stop cutting down trees. Humans who do that should be forced to drink my piss.
Apologies for that one.
