Logging is one of the few truly sustainable industries, when done correctly. Logging tracts in places like the PNW, East Texas, and Western Arkansas can be perpetually harvested and replanted in 30-40 year cycles (sometimes even as little as 25), meaning that the same piece of land can sequester a potentially unlimited amount of carbon, most of which will remain permanently sequestered in buildings and landscaping.

Brazilian beef producers obviously do not take this approach, which is an issue.

"Clearcuting forests" is a fair bit different then "sustainable logging"
