I realize we're just being silly here, but I think it's important to point out that it's kind of a misconception that deforestation is caused by logging. It does happen, but not as often as other causes, primarily clearing land for agricultural uses. Source

It also says in that article that if everyone ate a vegetarian diet we could reduce agricultural land use to 1/3 of current usage which would have a much bigger impact than stopping logging.
