I'm surprised the article doesn't mention any sort of social stigma against the work (beyond the low pay and danger). Logging is cutting down trees and in a world where we're raised now to conserve our forests I'm not surprised that logging as an occupation is not on the forefront of people's minds.

Even if it's done in an environmentally sound way, I'd assume that there's a stigma that would be hard to get past.

Most people don't care that much.

Especially people that aren't confused about where toilet paper comes from.
