Oh boy, I'm huge into trees and boy could I talk about this. Not cutting down trees is way more lucrative than cutting down trees.

- ineedasername 5y agoAn interesting question would be "How many times per second could you not cut down a tree?" I'm guessing the throughput on that is incredibly fast.
