  1. Wood as a material

  2. When constructing a furniture, a building or a bridge, we might choose wood

  3. or we might choose concrete, steel or cement

  4. A comparison of materials WOOD CONCRETE, STEEL, CEMENT Made by humans The production method (industrial): causes pollution emits CO2 needs a lot of energy costs money • Made by nature • The production method (the photosynthesis): • is 100 % clean • absorbs CO2 • requires no energy • free of charge • Stores carbon • Renewable

  5. Using woodas a building material: • will help us reduce our carbon footprints • may be part of the solution to our greatest environmental problem, • global warming and climate changes

  6. CO2 emission from production of 10 litre

  7. Substitution When 1 cubic metre of concrete is replaced with 1 cubic metre of timber… Replace

  8. It reduces the CO2 emission by 1 tonne The size of a balloon containing 1 tonne CO2 10,7 m 1,75

  9. The averageemissionof CO2 per capita in Europe, is… 9 tonnes 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

  10. Whilethesustainableamount, is 1 tonne CO2 1 person

  11. Conditions for using wood - Sustainable forestry: • A new tree must be plantedfor every one cut • Make sure annual growth is equal to or larger than the amount taken out • Strict rules and regulations must be followed, • to maintain the natural biodiversity • to ensure that the next generation also may enjoy our forests

  12. Plant a treeUse woodTake care of our forests
