I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to
humans ("pure habitat"). Want to help? (I spent the previous 8
years fighting auto dependence and road construction.)

You should be more concerned about rain forest being eliminated for
crop and livestock use.

No mountain-bike trail ever contributed to global warming like
deforestation but then tackling real problems has never been your
forte, coward.

What horse-pucky! Destroying rainforest and cutting down trees is
commonplace in North Vancouver ("North Shore"), among other places.

Well, you would know about cutting down trees since you did just that
for your own selfish pleasure.

Anyhow, no mountain-bike trail has had any impact on global warming,
dummy.

In terms of total trees cut down, what percentage do you reckon were
chopped down for mountain biking purposes?

And how many were cut down for children's play forts?

Not for a trail as most trails go around trees, and the log
structures built in no way, shape or form affect climate change.

Thanks for demonstrating your complete lack of understanding our
ecosystem. No wonder you don't tackle real problems.

Irrelevant. Even ONE is too many, for such a frivolous, immoral
purpose.
