¿Question #1640?
TiNYTimIDFluffYBunnY: How many rain forests have been cut down to make gaming meeple supplies?

ocdspectrum: We need hemp meeples.
Gerdion: None - the wood used to make meeples is clearly not tropical in origin
Webcudgel: NOT ENOUGH!!!!
aleo09: not enough to make a difference... i hope.
Felimid: Too many probably.
MisterCranky: This answer available for rent! Your message could go here!! Contact Randy Cox at "Bean's List Property Management" for more information.
Cringing Dragon: I suspect most meeples are made from "renewable" supplies - farmed fast-growing woods. But just think of all the carbon that's locked up in them: the meeples of the world are a great carbon sink!
scrub: LOL - too many.
tankexmortis: Not enough.
Harkonnen13: That is a really messed up question because now I'll actually think about that.
tanis: none. Meeples reproduce themselves.
quatsch: Not enough
personwholives: Enough. Or, we could use not rainforest wood. They have tree farms for just such a purpose.
dietevil: not too many, since our hobby is still pretty uncommon
DHEK: I don't think it's that significant, the amount needed.
dragonewtking: A sad fact is that meeples live exclusively in the rainforests, and with their habitat diminishing daily, they'll soon be extinct
AWildEep: Too few.
jeffwolfe: None.
clesiemo3: 12.4262164
dmomo: .000012
Cut & Space: 2 and a half
themightyhump: Don't know. Rain forests are over-rated anyway. I'm doing my part be eliminating the cow population - one juicy steak at a time.
scriptorum: All of them, hopefully. The rain forest is the natural enemy of the meeple.
Avatar_69: It was worth it!
jasta6: no enough yet...........................................more MEEPELS!
Shotmagnet: 2, but they were VERY big
Maraud: Just enough.
hacksword: Not enough. Surely we can do better.
Chris Page: I thought they grew them on meepleberry bushes?
Loquutus: Meeples are real, dude.
Kaleidos Funtastic: more than 1
bigbadsteve: 3, i think
tipigi: Whatever it took, it was worth it.
Gialmere: Not enough.
ZombyDawg: I thought game companies grew and harvested their own trees. That would be the only right way to do it, right?
brainrob: Too many
javelin98: Far too many. Can't you hear them screaming??
chux vomitus: None?
sourwyrm: not sure
CharlieWonka: The number of expansions there are probably not enough
arkibet: None... I thought they were compressed wood dust, like particle board.
verandi: 209,446, 891,099 trees
The Unbeliever: 42
meshuggener: I think one tree so far.
skrutsch: Three trees.
Mike A: Meeples are made from trees, not rain, duh.
RandallPeek: None. Meeples are created when a Momple and a Dadple love each other very much.
Belash: 1
BaSL: i thought that was finnish wood?
Musti: Just a minor fraction of what's needed to provide for all the hardwood people need for garden furniture
Lord_Prussian: Not enough I say
erli: None
Brother Narsis: Probably zero. Paper is mostly made from pine trees like the 500 or so in my ten acre yard. Besides, the logging companies have pine trees engineered to grow to a good size in around five years greatly increasing the turn around.
puffinge: 8
snoozefest: none
berserkley: 6
2amp: none, i imagine
heli: it comes from trees in Poland
toulouse: not enough.
jimchris: Not many. Mostly I think they use wood from northern climates. Now, if you asked about the number of dinosaurs necessary to make enough oil...
schenker: Not nearly enough
Drewcooter: 3
ynnen: Oh, probably a few tiny ones with very little rain.
GuyHill: not many
ValJor: Look at it this way: better to make meeples out of them than Monopoly boards...
ejmowrer: How many electrons had to die to make this question?
StormKnight: 1.43
stephensj23: Just one little one. I swear they are made from pine.
Cal Mac: Who cares, they died in a good cause
Favre4MVP: 3
hibikir: one million!
AlorielLelyn: Fewer than those cut down to supply the rest of corporate america
chaddyboy_2000: I hope it's less than 10,000.
kennyb: a very small one
Styro: 0.000000000001
tragicpoet: None, just several trees
skelebone: Probably 0, since rainforest soft woods would not make appropriate meeples.
gnomehome: None
djlg: Enough. Stop the Carcassone expansions NOW!
jttm: Have you been to the rainforest graveyard? I call it Ikea :P
CortexBomb: I don't think very many, most rain forests are cut down for the sake of stuff like mahogany wardrobes or crap farm land
CDRodeffer: Probably none
Blackwind: probably none
