We can't predict the future but I'm in the camp that if we collectively get our shit together food will stop being a "everything I want now and always" to "eat what is local and in season first"
Very good plan, fully support it. However, you must then deal with he fact that this company (whoever destroyed the trees) is destroying the viability of the entire region by destroying food production. It should be regarded as terrorism.
