I may be missing something here, but isn't the fact that it's made of tree pulp going to hurt the environment?

- masklinn 11y agoProbably not more so than all the existing tree farms, the scale of this would be much lower than the tons of engineered wood we're already using.
- glenra 11y agoHow would it hurt? We get wood pulp from trees that are farmed, not by clearcutting old-growth rainforest. If we used less tree pulp, the obvious result would be that we'd plant fewer acres of forest. If anything, finding more uses for wood helps the environment as it's using a resource that literally grows on trees in lieu of other resource that don't.
