Sustainability, made simple.
Green
Wood is recyclable, biodegradable and durable. Certainly, sustainable forestry methods were used for decades before green was introduced to pop culture as a buzzword. So, why does the wood industry take it on the chin? Surprisingly, I blame Walt Whitman.
"A CALIFORNIA song!
A prophecy and indirection—a thought impalpable, to breathe, as air;
A chorus of dryads, fading, departing—or hamadryads departing;
A murmuring, fateful, giant voice, out of the earth and sky,
Voice of a mighty dying tree in the Redwood forest dense."
Walt Whitman
