The Serpentine Pavilion in London removes 31 tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere, mainly due to the use of timber & cork in its construction, offsetting its carbon-intensive materials, like concrete.

Feel this was a missed opportunity to use more wood.

As our #builtenvironment accounts for 40% of the UK's carbon emissions in 2019, we need to reassess the way we build by focusing on the materials of our buildings.

Building with timber:

💚 Stores carbon
🌎 Carbon negative
🌳 Sustainable
