You can no longer survive without wood and things made from wood products than you can without eating..OH WAIT, lots of foods have wood products within them.

Just went there and scrolled down the list, and it convinced me of the opposite of your assertion. All it showed was wood products.

As for foods having wood products within them, if you would provide a list of those, I’d studiously avoid them. Just because they throw some wood into some soup doesn’t mean I can’t get soup without wood in it. In fact, I can make my own with barley, potatoes, tomatoes and onions, with or without chicken parts, and get along just fine without any sawdust added.

As for my laptop, that you tell me to get off of, I already bought it, so getting off of it would not change the presence or absence of wood in it. It’s brand new and has a nice, expansive hard drive and RAM and all sorts of neat gadgets on it. I really like it, except for the numbers on the mouse pad that I keep tripping over with my fingers and inadvertently adding to my text. Even assuming that it can’t operate without the presence of some wood thigamajig or other in it, I’ll tolerate the thigamajig and get on with my life.

I have nothing against wood. I just doubt that it’s essential to modern life. It’s helpful to have around, but so are dogs and cats (the non-feral kind). I’d also love to own a horse. But life would go on with or without any of those things, and my fourth floor apartment doesn’t have room for a horse. Sheep? Sure.

Now go do a search on foods that have wood products in them.

I bet you have had all of them..or at least most of them.

As for your laptop? It is made of HARD plastic, its chemical make up is from wood derivatives.

Even the clothes on your body, if synthetic materials, has been made form wood derived materials.

You, myself, and everyone in this modern world CAN NOT survive without the loggers, miners and farmers.

If your apartment has sheet rock (wallboard) then its coating is from wood. The paint that covers that wall board has wood derivatives in it. Your furniture, if has synthetic materials, most likely wood derivatives.

Glad to have given you the lessons. Now you can educate your others.

BTW..a healthy well managed young vigorous forest, consumes about 6 tons of pollution from the air per acre each year. It also produces as much, and releases as much, in oxygen each year.
