If you're so concerned head to South America and Africa and get them to change their habits. We, in this country, have been doing are part many times over. Hope it's not too much trouble.
They are selling their trees because we are buying them. Make sure you buy properly, sustainable forested word products. Might cost a little more, but it's worth it.
