We need to pay attention to how the forest can continue doing what it is doing, and how our use of trees can somehow fit in and participate in the natural cycles of a forest. Resources are only flows that pass through your hands. You have no right to try to stop them and possess them indefinitely. If you can utilize a resource while keeping it flowing, it is yours to use freely. But you have no right to try to take the resource out of circulation and keep it from being utilized.
Resources are for using and for passing on in an eternal cycle.
You don't own a car just because you are able to cross some wires to start it up and drive away in it. Likewise, you don't own the minerals of the earth just because you are able to lift them out of the ground. You don't own the sunshine just because it warms you. To the degree that you respect and further the viable continued existence of the resource, you can use it. A resource is never yours.
