Science, as a base, is always true, it is the interpretation that imparts human error. Whether you believe in science or not is irrelevant. -Neil deGrasse Tyson
Robert Rapier, Forbes says, "certainly, the burning of trees can be bad, but one can’t treat that as a universal truth. You wouldn’t make a blanket statement that all drugs are bad, just because some people abuse drugs". Indroneil Ganguly https://t.co/nl2Sx4dy3f
@ArosalRosales Softwood mills are large volume oriented. I’d say, inconsistent local supply of certified raw material and not enough demand to justify FSC CoC certification for the softwood sawmills.
Maple syrup in the PNW can help small forest landowners in the PNW keep their forests as forests. @UW_SEFS@UWEnvironment research featured in this King5 video (3:56 min marker). Look for awesome @kwheiler talk about his research. @uwnews
"That is fantastic! It's buttery, and toffee, and... it's gorgeous! It's hard to believe that came out of a maple tree." @MarkWrightKING5 https://t.co/4E7Flnyh9I
An intriguing book review. This book sounds like an excellent commentary on deeply entrenched prejudices that disadvantage immigrants in America. Added to my list of must-read books.

Often people mistakenly associate harvests with deforestation. This article highlights the importance of sustainable wood and roles played by natural and plantation forests. Perfectly aligns with our research https://t.co/dkLCcW8Bro @UW_SEFS@UWEnvironment
WATCH THIS! Excellent explanation of the value of trees and wood products, and how we can have both. After centuries of clearing forests, find out from Sir David Attenborough how we could have more forests than any of us have ever known. https://t.co/zaK4jMRUwv #

Use harvest residue as an energy substitute instead of burning them. This paper discusses the air quality and health impact of slash-pile burns in the US-PNW. https://t.co/KfnSPd8Q19 (free download till Jan 11) @CINTRAFOR@UW_SEFS@UWEnvironment#ClimateAction#AirQuality
WA lost a great champion and a true leader who had great appreciation for science and shared my belief that working forests play an important role in protecting and maintaining a healthy ecosystem. Mark Doumit will ‘live on’ through his many policy contributions @WAWorkingForest
Timber can replace steel and concrete in a building, cutting its carbon footprint by 26%-44%, according to sustainability researcher Indroneil Ganguly at the University of Washington. But the timber must be sustainably sourced. https://t.co/RdD14UmJAw
We all know #maplesyrup comes from #Vermont and #Canada. And now: the Pacific Northwest! #SEFS researchers are proving that maple syrup is no longer just for the snowy landscapes of the east coast: https://t.co/31f05dNot2 PC: @KiyomiTaguchi
Mass timber can replace the steel & concrete in a building, cutting its carbon footprint by 26%-44%, according to @uw_sefs researcher @indro_neil. Ganguly also emphasizes sustainable harvest as the growing industry could lead to unchecked deforestation.

This PRI news highlights our (ie, @UW_SEFS and @UWEnvironment) mass timber (@forestbusiness) sustainability research. The audio version of the news is amazing. The soccer fans chanting was a nice touch.
When I started reporting about eco-building, I didn't think I would end up talking to the owner of a UK football club... ⚽️🌿
Check out my latest about something called "mass timber". It's as strong as steel and concrete, and it's wood!
