Biodiversity

Some biotech companies have asked the governments permission to plant some fast-growing frost-resistant eucalyptus trees in the American southeast with an eye towards supplying the paper industry. Predictably the swampies are unshakably opposed.

Now my thought here is that since the American southeast is already overrun with invasive alien species from Kudzu to carp and monkeys, why not take this to its logical conclusion and toss in some Koalas to keep the trees company. At least they're cute.
