In trying to persuade a friend that the late Ronald Reagan was not the friend of the environment as he claimed I used two quotes attributed to Reagan: 1)"You've seen one redwood you've seen them all." and 2) "Trees cause popllution."  The second one came I think from one of his imfamous note cards and was maed, I think with the notion that any exhaust is pollutin and the oxygen is the exhaust of plant respiration, ergo trees cause pollution.   But if any one can tell me the exact origins of each of the quotes I would appreciate it very much. Plus have bragging rights for once over my Republican friend.
