Wood - Nature's Genius


Wood - nature's genius





Are you also fed up?

Fed up with being told that everything is going to hell?

What with CO2, the greenhouse effect, flooding, drought, hunger, exhaustion of natural resources, mountains of rubbish, and the pure hell of toxic pollution.

Well, don’t worry because there is a solution, wood.

Yes, trees and wood products are the way forward because wood is the world’s most environmentally friendly raw material.

Get this. Trees and forests are a source of raw material that grow every year, and forests are much prettier than coal mines and oil drilling platforms, but you may ask isn't it wrong to cut down trees? No, luckily cutting down trees is absolutely fine if forests are managed with the purpose of producing wood for manufacture and when we cut down trees, new ones are planted in their place. Furthermore, plantation forest areas are expanding; increasingly increasing by many 000's square kilometers each year.

Wood products are also healthier for the climate because trees take CO2 out of the atmosphere and store it in their trunks, then later in wood products. So, we are reducing the greenhouse effect every time we use wood in houses, bridges, furniture, and cars, and when you dispose of wood products the story still isn't quite over, burn them, for there’s energy stored in the wood, and by doing so you release only as much CO2 as the tree consumed when it grew thus replacing the use of coal, oil and gas, preventing CO2 emissions and resulting in no waste which is why wood is the world’s most environmentally friendly raw material; a resource that both grows and produces clean energy instead of waste which is more than you can say about metal or plastic, concrete, coal, oil and gas now isn't it.

So use wood for wood is good.
