Imagine what a tree can do?
The tree grows by the power of the sun. When the tree grows in the forest breathes out oxygen and breathes in carbon dioxide. If it dies on the forest floor or if it burns in a forest fire, it gives back carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, but if we take that wood and put it into a building, it has an amazing capacity to store carbon and provide us with sequestration.
So, the solution to climate change is to reduce emissions and find storage. Wood is the only building material that does both, reduces emissions, and stores the dioxide, as one cubic meter of wood (1 m3) will store one ton of carbon dioxide. Compared to concrete and steel, only these two building materials alone emit 8% of the entire global carbon emission to the atmosphere.
