Translations: Gefährdete Tropenhölzer nein danke/4/en

The 3 main causes for climate change are: (1) with approx. 24% energy production, (2) with approx. 18 - 25% overexploitation of primeval forests (tropics + Nordic forests) and (3) 3. with approx. 14% the increasingly globalized traffic. As a renewable raw material, wood is an environmentally friendly material that binds CO2 from the atmosphere as the trees grow. However, wood in products is particularly climate-friendly if it comes from sustainably managed forests and has the shortest possible transports behind it (wood of short distances), because the overexploitation of primary forests (primeval forests) of the tropics and the Nordic forests as well as the more and more globalized traffic are two main causes of climate change.
