Well, in terms of carbon in the atmosphere, making furniture from wood actually makes a lot of sense, assuming you use sustainable forestry (replant the same amount or more).
That carbon in your furniture isn't going into the air anytime soon, hopefully never.
- vbezhenar 6y agoI run some numbers in the past and I think that going all-in to wood houses and stuff really makes lots of sense. It's not a solution to all CO2 problems, but having lots of wood in the forests AND lots of wood in people houses allows to keep a sizeable chunk of carbon from atmosphere. It's a shame that wood is not as popular nowadays. Of course people should regrow two trees for every one cut.
- jojobas 6y agoWood rots in landfills. You have to char it to stop that.
