Re: GBlist: Good Wood



I'm a big fan of forests and sustainable agriculture too, but even relying
on forests for building material does not protect them.

As for straw, it is the byproduct of ceral farming and is burned in
megatons every year. Even if every house in the USA was built with
strawbales, plenty would still be burned. No one's growing wheat to throw
it away and keep the straw.
