""The rapid consumption of coal is but a single instance of wasteful expenditure of the stores which during countless ages have been gathered together seemingly for the use of man. In this country (America,) I need not dwell upon the fact that, in many other ways, man is consuming, if not wasting, supplies of earth-wealth which cannot be replaced. It is not merely what is found within tho earth, but the store of wealth which clothes the earth's surface, which is thus being exhausted. Your mighty forests seem capable of supplying all the timber that the whole race of man could need for ages; yet a very moderate computation of the rate at which they are being cut down, and will presumably continue to be, by a population increasing rapidly in numbers and in the destructive capabilities which characterize modern civilization, would show that this country will be denuded of its forest wealth in about the same period which we in England have calculated as probably limiting the effective duration of our stores of coal."
Mr Proctor, December of 1874
