ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

The fact is even if several trees are planted for every tree felled, who is going to check on them to make sure they reach maturity? How long will it take for them to reach the maturity of the established forests they are decimating? A hundred years? Two hundred? Three hundred?

Sustainable wood source - Really? And what does 'sustainable' certified timber mean? I am sure there are a small handfull of honest and well meaning authorities and enthusiasts who ensure best practice but the sad fact is most timber comes from South America, Africa and Asia, developing countries where corruption is rife and timber export is worth millions. The ability to buy a solid Rosewood or teak coffee table from a cheap market shop for twenty or thirty pounds is outrageous, most dense hardwood species take from seventy to two hundred years to reach harvestable maturity, how can that be achieved for twenty pounds? Especially when you appreciate that the money paid for the actual wood itself does not amount to more than one pound out of that twenty.
