Wood is Good

The promotion of use of wood obtained from sustainably managed trees and forests can play a positive role in mitigating climate change through sequestration of carbon and creating a pool of long-life products (such as door frames and windows) that delay its release back into the atmosphere. Research has shown that wood-framed buildings are more environment-friendly than concrete- and steel-framed buildings.
