Wood Myths
When it comes to a sustainable built environment, material choices matter. Wood is a natural, renewable, and sustainable material for building, with a lighter carbon footprint than steel or concrete. Maximizing wood use in both residential and commercial construction could remove an estimated 21 million tons of C02 from the atmosphere annually – equal to taking 4.4 million cars off the road. https://www.thinkwood.com/sustainability
The long-term positive change benefit of using wood can be summed up by the Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) when it concluded that:
“A sustainable forest management strategy aimed at maintaining or increasing forest carbon stocks, while producing an annual sustained yield of timber fiber or energy from the forest, will generate the largest sustained (climate change) mitigation benefit.”
