The environmental effects of clearcutting are often cited by activists who are trying to put a stop to the practice. They include a range of negative results, from loss of habitat to an elevation in stream temperatures which can cause fish to die off, but all of them reflect major changes that can take decades to correct. Numerous activists have suggested more environmentally sustainable alternatives to clearcutting, such as selective logging, and hope that as more consumers become aware of the potential dangers of clearcutting, they will seek out sustainably-harvested timber.
Clearcutting, or clearfelling, is a logging practice which involves completely clearing an area of trees, regardless of their size and usability. Remaining scrub and brush are usually burnt in large burn piles that can cast a smoky haze over the area for several days. A clearcut area may be relatively small, or may span for miles, and is often clearly visible through the air, along with the scars of logging roads cut to access it. The abrupt removal of trees can have a serious environmental impact on the surrounding area.

What is the value of an unevenly cut 1950 G US 10 dollar bill?
It depends on how uneven the cut is. If the bill is slightly off-center it doesn't have any extra value. If the cut is so far off-center that part of another bill is visible it could be worth a couple of hundred dollars depending on condition, but it would have to be inspected in person by a currency dealer or appraiser who works with error bills. Also, there was never a "G" series letter on 1950 US $10 bills; the highest was E. You may be looking at the Federal Reserve District letter instead of the series letter which is next to the date.

What are the clear cut points of view of life?
The Ten Commandments are very specific and, I think, are the basis of all of our laws. Scientific facts are clear cut. The Golden rule (treat others as YOU would like to be treated) is less specific than the Platinum Rule (treat others as THEY would like to be treated), and so is unclear to me. As individuals though, I think we are clear at any given time about how to run our lives, even though the views change as we become more experienced--so there aren't really any clear cut views.
