Wood has many obvious advantages over other building materials. As a building material, wood has the lowest energy consumption and the lowest CO2 emission of any commonly used material.
Wood products continue to act as a carbon sink throughout their life.
Timber has proven to be particularly energy efficient in use, and as such play a major role in combating global warming.
Timber is occasionally perceived as being environmentally 'unfriendly'. However, cutting down carefully selected trees helps to improve the overall health of a forest, like pruning in the garden. Sustainable forestry management ensures that more trees are planted than are taken, so the forest does not actually reduce in size. The forest is then protected - and can still be enjoyed by future generations.
Using wood products encourages forestry to expand, increasing the carbon sink effect and reducing the CO2 in the atmosphere.
