Vegetarians avoid eating meat because of the slaughter of animals, should they also refrain from using wood in their homes, furniture, etc? We know from Ra that trees have the ability to gain self-awareness, possibly more of a chance than some 2D animals. Isn't supporting the wood industry akin to supporting the meat industry?
Ideal would be the soil built huts along with "dead wood". Unless you have the skill to use rock. A square wood house is a temporary dwelling. Even Ra has stated that the square form negates energy.
In other countries without the clamp down of law from organized "civilization" it is possible to use available materials rather than cutting down fresh life. This is something fully viable, and what I hope to get to before this country goes on lockdown and I can't leave. The new laws enacted to slow down the ability for americans to leave has been applied to me. Out of 5 in my family I am the only one hit with the passport form demanding all previous addresses, employment history and addresses, timeframes of all addresses, more previous documents showing a picture ID, baptismal record, etc. The kind of form that is mostly impossible for anyone over 20.

They did this in Japan, saying that the testers could not tell the difference between the processed sewage and actual hamburgers. I guess you don't process much of the protein and it just goes into the toilet. They wanted to know that in the case of extreme food shortage they can recover all the wasted protein and still eat.
