Why would you want to build using Wood?

Why on earth a wood house?

Everybody knows that wooden houses are for children, doggies, and weirdos who live in the backwoods. Yes, they have seen the light, and now also modern intelligent people realize wood is the world’s best building material. Soon, we will have wooden bridges, arenas, houses, kindergartens, and even skyscrapers all over.

You’re going to love it.

So, has wood come into fashion? Hmmmm. Since when did it ever fall out of fashion? It’s always been the best building material whichever way you look at it.

Now get your brain around this. Relative to its weight, wood is the world’s strongest building material. That’s the way nature made it which is why building with wood is quick, easy, and economical (as all do-it-yourself women know, it’s a piece of cake) and because nature made wood so strong and flexible, tall wooden buildings remain standing even during earthquakes.

Now, here’s something for your heart.

Wood is beautiful, feels good, and has a wonderful scent, creates and excellent indoor climate and acoustics, and keeps you warm, but don’t take our word for it. If you “wood” give it a try.

Here’s something for your conscience. 

Wood is the most environmentally friendly material. It’s the only building material made by the sun, and with carbon from the air, so wood stores carbon and reduces the greenhouse effect, and it’s the only renewable material in perpetual supply forever and ever (from properly managed forests of course), and should wooden houses be demolished, you don’t end up with waste, nooooo! For wood can be recycled or burned. Thus using the solar energy stored in the wood to replace using coal, oil, and gas. Brilliant! Which is why modern intelligent people choose wood, caring

Invest in wood for wood is good

Consider How important Trees are for our everyday needs?

Consider How important Trees are for our everyday needs?

If you consider the situation with the depletion of our natural forests, it is not hard to foresee how it is massively important to start the process of afforestation projects.

Oil, Gas, Iron Ore etc.,etc. can (ultimately) all be replaced with alternatives no matter how unstable the world may become due to their scarcity. However, trees are not a natural resource that can be depleted to near extinction. Obviously, we need them to exist. Unless, we as a race, find an alternative to oxygen!

Logically, it can be seen that trees will, in fact, be more precious and usable in the future, especially within an ever growing population.

Why?

Well think of all the uses of trees.

Heat

Wood to many people is still the primary source of heat.

Going back to basics, wood was the first material used for heating and at present it is making a marked comeback in the form of wood pellets for their use within industrial power generation and also within the home using wood burning stoves. This is not just in the industrialised countries but also, increasingly, within developing nations. Charcoal is still, a regulary used form of fuel for heating and cooking. Wood is recognised as an environmentally safer material when contrasted against other raw materials i.e. oil or coal. With the cost of oil, coal and gas increasing, it is also economically viable.

Construction

It seems obvious that wood will remain the main source material in the construction industry. What is likely to replace it? As population and demographics explode this will put a massive strain on supply and demand. Unless, that supply is illegally sourced from existing forests causing further depletion to one of our greatest natural resources.

Furniture

I would suggest that the need for wood in this sector is likely to increase further as man-made materials are in some way linked to the expensive raw material, Oil. We know oil can't last forever. It won't be long before it is just too uneconomic to use Oil. Unlike wood, Oil takes many thousands of years to form.

Paper

This is likely to rise and then fall in demand as most text will be electronic. However, packaging and tissue usage will likely increase. This is a reality and again linked to population and economic issues. Paper is likely to be a major industry for many years to come.

Transport

Consider how many pallets are used to transport goods worldwide and within a local economy. Again, what is a likely alternative.

With worldwide government intervention trying to halt illegal logging and also with the introduction of Carbon Credits as an Asset class, I believe that the afforestation of large swathes of land is likely and necessary. Don't forget timber is the worlds third biggest commodity traded.

Thought? If carbon emissions are a major factor in #climate change and #trees are a major sequester of carbon why don't we plant more trees?

Forestry Plantations are potentially a solid long term investment. You can find information of Sustainable Forestry Investments at www.silvinvest.co.uk

Eucalyptus Plantations and How to Invest

Trees bred to Save the World from an energy crisis?

Eucalyptus Investments - Profit Now!

Creating Income from Australian Renewable Energy Sources

Thanks to the unique weather conditions in Queensland Australia, the country is seeing the development of an exciting new form of Green Oil derived from the Millettia trees that are native to the region.

These trees are providing clean, renewable energy solutions for the area and the opportunity for income development for investors from all over the world.

Green Oil

Green Oil is a form of sustainable energy that has actually been used throughout the world for centuries for a variety of purposes including home heating and power generation. It can be derived directly from the Millettia tree itself and, though alternative sources can include waste, biomass and other types of plant life, the Millettia tree provides a pure and concentrated product that is ideal for the creation of clean environmentally friendly energy.

The long, strong roots from this species mean that it can access water and nutrients that other plants simply cannot reach, making it thrive in the hot, humid climate of Queensland and creating a fantastic opportunity for investment in sustainable energy solutions for all.

The Growth in Sustainable Energy Sources

As the population expands, the world is using more energy than ever before and some forecast that most of our stock source of fossil fuels could be depleted within the space of the next 40-80 years. This has led to deep investigation into a wide range of possible fuel production techniques which are friendlier to the environment today; sustainable for the future and provide viable alternatives for the worlds energy requirements.

Developments in the Australian Market

In Australia alone they are finding new and innovative ways to produce the energy required to fulfil the growing demand. From wind and solar energy through to marine and bio-energy resources, the country is identifying new and innovative ways to meet this energy crisis. However, none of these solutions are anywhere near as advanced as the progression they have already made in Green Oil production.

With over 30 years experience, the plantations in Australia have the opportunity to tap into a wealth of, as yet, untouched resources in this vast region and start to meet the rising demands of alternative energy. The Australian government have set a target to make 20% of all energy consumption in the country originate from renewable energy sources by the year 2020. From a current platform of 5%, this is going to mean massive growth within the industry and the potential for significant returns for all those that choose to invest.

Rates of Return

Currently, investments in the Millettia plantations in Queensland are offering an annual fixed rate of return over either a five or eight year investment term at which point in time the initial amount invested is returned. The forecast Return on Investment (ROI) for the 5 yr Investment is a fantastic 80% with the 8 yr investment forecast to provide a 109% ROI. Investments can be made directly or via a Self Invested Personal Pension (SIPP). The product provides the opportunity for consistent growth via a reliable source of income. Take advantage of the opportunity to get in at the growth stage within a product taking a new direction in the production of clean renewable energy in the future.
