You're not alone, unfortunately. It's people like you, who value trees more than human beings, who are going to bring about the next variant of human oppression that will ruin millions of lives for no reason other than a false sense of "something more important than people", and be regarded as a dark chapter in human history.
To value a planet's worth of trees over some cockamany plan to save a single human life doesn't infer valuing trees more than human beings.
I have no doubt you'll get your fake plastic trees as we simply won't have time to wait for an organic one to emerge from whatever primordial soup our descendants crash into. But until then, I'll happily bear your cross.
That "something more important than people" is actually... well... still people. If there aren't any trees left on this planet there probably won't be any people left here either.
