 DID YOU KNOW?

• Building with wood will make a significant contribution to reducting CO2 in the atmosphere.

• That 1 Tonne of wood has absorbed approximately 1.7 tonne of carbon net, after manufacture.

• ie. By simply chossing wood an average timber house reduces CO2 by 50 tonnes (equivalent to that emitted by flying 12 times around the world or what a car could use during its entire life).

• By just choosing timber cladding alone, on average 8.5 tonne of CO2 has been taken out of the atmosphere!

• That wooden ceiling sarking would also reduce CO2 by approximately 8.5 tonne.

• That carbon is 'locked up' for the life of the house.

• Any Macrocarpa waste is environmentally safe and friendly. (shavings, sawdust for the garden and farm, off-cuts for firewood).

 In Summary: To build with Macrocarpa, is to build with nature, to build for the future

is to care for your present and future environment.
