Trees are a valuable natural resource, however, they are sold to timber companies at prices that don't come close to their true economic value. On top of this, many tax dollars go to creating roads through previously untouched forests, making it easier for loggers to clear-cut. In fact, national forests are bisected by 430,000 miles of roads you funded. That's eight times longer than the interstate highway system. It's more than a matter of money.
Roads disrupt habitat and wildlife migration routes.
They also contribute to soil erosion, mud slides, flooding and stream sedimentation, which decreases water quality and fish habitats-part of biodiversity. The cost of deforestation just don't add up. Aveda respects your privacy. Please review our policy .
