1980’s

1990’s

A logger sells a truck load of lumber for $100. His cost is 2/3 of the price or $80.00 and he made $20.00 profit. Underline $20.00.

 

2000

A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is a selfish, inconsiderate, greedy corporate stooge who cares nothing about the habitat of animals or the preservation of the ecosystem. He does this to make $20.00.

What do you think of the way he makes a living?

For additional points; describe how the animals felt as the logger cut down their homes.

There are no wrong answers and if you feel like crying, it’s OK.
