I feel like that's based on some naturalism fallacies. Durable plastic is more efficient to produce that growing a tree. And sourcing thingy locally isn't always practical. You want the best lumber for the job that will last and that's usually cultivated at scale. You can chop down trees from your backyard or you'll destroy your neighborhood.
- PaulDavisThe1st 5y agoThere's almost no such thing as durable plastic when you're talking about the lifetimes of traditional building material. As a result, without a genuine recyling process for plastic (rather than just "down cycling"), even if there was nothing wrong with it during its normal lifetime, it just becomes more trash at the end. Quite different for wood (stone, glass, adobe, even concrete).
