Description
Learning objective: using scientifically-based life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology, this session demonstrates why wood products are better for the environment than other materials in terms of indicators such as embodied energy, air and water pollution and global warming potential. This presentation also examines why wood from sustainably managed forests is a good choice when it comes to one of society’s most pressing issues—climate change.
