Nitpicking from the main point, but logging companies are still destroying our planet/forests. They haven't learnt a single lesson. The most valuable woods come from very unsustainable exploitations far away (from my perspective, eg. Philippines/Canada), and as for the so-called "sustainable" local exploitations here in France they earn the label by destroying entire ecosystems and replanting between 3-6 species over the entire area after they've chopped everything down.

It's still ecocide on a wide scale.
