General Forestry Facts

To grow a pound of wood, a tree consumes about 1.47 pounds of carbon dioxide and releases approximately 1.07 pounds of oxygen.
Young, well-managed forests tend to be the most efficient at absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. Old, overcrowded, slow-growing forests begin to use more oxygen than they produce.
Growing forests are excellent carbon "sinks." Growth in all United States forests removes approximately 9% of total carbon dioxide emissions in the United States.

Wood products are more efficient to produce when compared to other products:

Aluminum products require 126 times more energy to produce.
Steel products require 24 times more energy to produce.
Glass products require 14 times more energy to produce.
Plastic products require 6 times more energy to produce.
Cement products require 4.5 times more energy to produce.
