  2. As far as I know there are plenty of forests everywhere in Slovakia. What is he talking about? To bring up emotions about couple trees being cut down? Yes there might be some shady deals involved that should stop but that’s everywhere in everything. It really sounds emotional.. where have all our forests gone. Yeah then ditch every single wood product and don’t give money to people that use wood products too then it’s not hypocrisy what are you saying jesus christ. I know people with degrees for forest care and management and with decades of forestry experience n this field and it is not as bad in Slovakia with forest management as some eco activist are trying to portray. Many of them are backed by people and organizations where profit is priority. Don’t get me wrong, there must be opposition and criticism to everything but our eco activists are highly exaggerating what’s really going on. I am not judging this guy in and his activities here in particular cause I do not exactly what is he up to now. And I am for strict protection what needs it and for proper and environmentally sustainable forest management. but many claims of enviromental activists in Slovakia aren’t based on true but on emotiotions inducing rage and distrust towards people in forest industry that actually studied years for it, their ocuppation is literally to protect forests. of course there are shitty people there too
