There are two approaches to sustainability:
1. Use quality material that is slow to come by, but build stuff that lasts for decades, or even centuries.
2. Use "sustainably" produced material, but build utter shit that doesn't last and that you expect to throw away in a few years.
For stuff like houses, I prefer the first approach.
- mreiland 11y agosustainable implies you can continue doing it indefinitely, but the first approach is more likely to fail that test due to increasing demand.
- spronkey 11y agoThe time scale "decades" is reserved for the materials we use today. To use better woods, for example, you need timescale of many centuries.
