A bit of an oddball silent film here as the film takes forever to get to it's point (forest fires are bad!) It first goes into a quote from a tree loving soldier, and then of course, there's scenes of war, because, you know, SOLDIERS? Anyways, then it goes into the ways people communicated before paper was invented.. you know, hieroglyphics? And then, the chinese invent paper! And then big business took advantage of paper to what it is today. But wait, forest fires are bad! The film seems to have an underlying message that Big Businesses are not the cause of them, the minions are! I wonder…
