As the World Grows, Must the Forests Go?

Plus! Vol. 2 No. 15, August 1996

One of those rare instances where my byline was printed as “Ernie” instead of “Ernee.” Well, this is also a rare instance that I’ve written for this magazine. Nonetheless, this article – “As the World Grows, Must the Forests Go?” – talked about the importance of the (rain)forests amid the growing world population.

“For wickedness has become aflame just like a fire; thornbushes and weeds it will eat up. And it will catch fire in the thickets of the forest, and they will be borne aloft as the billowing of smoke.” – Isaiah 9:18, New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures.
