Description
Stop Cutting the Trees Down- 2019 - The artwork is about the irrational use of paper resources, overproduction of things and overconsumption of products. When quick profits ruin the world where we live and destroy the ancient forests in third world countries to get their resources or to free the places for growing the palm oil trees, build buildings, etc.Instagram - instagram.com/artistmef

I like the message and the artwork but... I can't imagine a life without paper. We use it in our everyday lives. And suddenly to have that taken away. What are we supposed to wipe our butts with, our left hand? Regular books had been used for so many centuries. And it doesn't matter if you cut trees down, you can always plant more. And, we need wood in our lives too. Even more than paper. We use wood for lumber to make houses, we use wood for starting fires, we use wood for survival purposes. I bet almost every single piece of furniture in your house is made of some type of wood. So, I'm sorry to burst your bubble but, we need those things to survive in everyday society.

I was little bit in a bad mood when I wrote this, changed the description for more neutral. Still, I even have not mentioned of total paper\wood refuse. We need paper in our everyday life, but I don't think we need things like magazines, tv programs, greeting cards, junk mail, paper towels, and books from the low skilled writers in paper. These things better to receive digitally. Also in my country, even does not work system of waste recycling, so many people just use and drop paper into the trash hill. And Ukraine is in the world's top list of nonlegal deforestation, we lost a lot of our ancient trees and forests. With forests, you lose animals, insects, full ecosystems, this process is irreversible.
For example, Norway is the first country were totally forbidden to cut the trees down. With modern technologies, we can create paper from some fast-growing plants, like a cannabis plant, bamboo, and others. There are a lot of alternatives and possibilities, we just to lazy to think and to change our lifestyle.

Oh, ok. Well I do agree with what you said about things like magazines and stuff. Also, what's even more wasteful is littering. Like dude, are you that lazy you can't even walk a few feet to a recycling bin or a rubbish bin? Also, the thing about ecosystems is that even if that forest is almost gone, there are organisations such as Ecosia and TeamTrees.org that specialise in planting trees where it is needed most. I even have Ecosia as a Chrome extension. What it does is that the extension plants a tree everytime you search, but not exactly. It takes roughly 45 searches to plant one tree. I have 4,481 searches currently on Ecosia. I suggest to download Ecosia and try it for yourself, if you haven't already. Also, if you can, try donating to TeamTrees.org. It reached its 20 million tree goal, and still continues to grow in number. £0.76 donated is one tree planted. I would like to donate, although I can't afford it.

Ahah, no one forces you to be a vegan, this artwork is more about irrational use of paper resources and overconsumption\overproduction.
Thanks!
