Serious about addressing climate change? Build with woodcontributed by Bruce Benninghoff |
|||
In North America, the building sector accounts for about 37% of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. That represents a tremendous opportunity to reduce climate change by building more, and specifically taller, wooden buildings. A recent study by a team of scientists from Yale University and the University of Washington estimated that global CO2 pollution could be reduced by between 14% to 31% by using wood in place of steel and concrete. Clearly, it’s a massive opportunity. |

Do you think there might be some interest in sharing these ideas with your local Tree Farmer group sometime? These ppts are from the National Agroforestry Center. Diversifying income and environmental biodiversity are some benefits.
