We want to be environmentally friendly and avoid plastic straws and plastic bags and replace them with paper straws and paper bags.

Yet we are disgusted when forests are cut down and then replanted.

What part of this article suggested the forest cut down was being replanted?

Hello everyone -- what a lovely surprise to see this posted! This is my article. Happy to answer questions :)

Also, this article was first posted on Estonian World [1]. They're a great news site that acts as English-language news for the country of Estonia, run by a couple of journalists who used to work at some big news companies.

I'm grateful to them for publishing my piece [2] and also allowing it to be republished on my own site.

I have worked in forestry and and have planted 500 trees daily...

And there are laws that replanting must be started within 2/5 years of cutting.

If you look aerial photos of the area in article then you can see that this process is started. Cannot find exact spot but looking around in the village.
