Script:
For all future stewards of the earth– and that’s all of us– here’s a fast test. What is the most sustainable and eco-friendly product with which to construct our homes? How can we turn a few of the CO2 we’re putting into the atmosphere into a possession? And how can we make the world more green and stunning?
The answer to all these questions is … trees.
And forests serve as home to the majority of types on the planet. We use thousands of products– many every day– that come from trees.
Anyway, who does not love trees?
Yet trees, especially in the last few decades, have actually ended up being very controversial. People are divided into 2 broad camps. One group sees trees as an important source of renewable material and of renewable resource. This group usually prefers planting trees and making use of the lots of items stemmed from them. The other group highlights the worth of forests as communities to provide a secured environment for threatened types. This group prefers to see forests off-limits to business usage.
Here’s the excellent news: if we do it right, we can use our trees and enjoy them, too. The 2nd term is “logging,” which indicates the long-term loss of forests.
What we are actually doing is sending a signal to the marketplace to plant more trees to produce more wood to supply the need in the lumberyard. It’s just that trees take longer to develop than annual farm crops. The giant paper company Boise Cascade is simply as much in the company of planting trees as it is in harvesting them.
The key point is it’s not the harvesting of trees that causes logging. Logging is the outcome of harvesting and then not replanting a forest, or not letting it grow back naturally, which it would do if just left alone.
Deforestation sounds like a bad word– and it can be– but normally it’s not. All it means is that after the trees are collected, the land is used for a different purpose. The largest cause of deforestation is agriculture, the creation of brand-new farmland. Farming is crucial. The world has seven billion people to feed. Another reason for logging is to give way for towns and cities. Manhattan was as soon as a fantastic forest. Now it’s a fantastic city.
