Ingenious Construction Workers That Are At Another Level

if you have a house made out of wood, meaning you've cut down some trees, how is that green? it was green, when the tree was alive, now it's a dead tree, therefore, it's damaging the environment, whereas a concrete or block house would mean no tree is being cut down, right?

Great question! Wood can actually be a more sustainable building material if it is sourced responsibly. Sustainable forestry practices, including replanting trees and managing forests for long-term health, can make wood a renewable resource. Concrete, on the other hand, has a high carbon footprint due to the energy-intensive process of making cement. However, the sustainability of any material also depends on other factors, like transportation distance, longevity, and end-of-life disposal. Both wood and concrete can have a place in sustainable building when used thoughtfully.
