“It takes 10 times as much energy to manufacture steel as it does to make the equivalent amount of wood. The smelting process by which iron ore is converting into steel relies heavily on fossil fuels – especially coal – that release carbon dioxide and other gasses into the atmosphere. By contrast, the only energy needed to initiate photosynthesis comes from the sun. We pay nothing for the sun’s energy and it does not pollute the atmosphere. Once the solar-powered wood formation process is completed only a modest amount of additional energy is needed to convert the wood of a tree into finished lumber.”
- W.R.J. Sutton
“There must be a better way to make the things we want, a way that doesn't spoil the sky, or the rain or the land.”
- Paul McCartney
