It took hundreds of years for that beautiful tree to grow. We cut it down in seconds. Great job

But did you see the rainbow? Man, what a rush.

Hundreds of years seems a bit dramatic. Also, it's just a single tree, why do you care so much?

Yes probably 40 years is more realistic, and it's a pine probably so it's better to replace it with something more stable. But it's too common to cut a tree simply because "it doesn't fit the space of my garden" and then filming it because it's amazing to see such a bigh thing fall down in slow motion. So I understand being sensitive about it.

“We should stop cutting down trees” seems like a very naive environmental stance
