Precious Natural Resources:
3 to 4 billion board feet of usable lumber is thrown
away every year as one third of our nations green
waste. In 1999, our country threw away equal to one
quarter of its 14 billion board feet of hardwood
consumption. Like many areas, Eugene, Oregon is
in the middle of an urban forest that contains more
trees than people. These trees are vital to our
economic sustainablity and communities well
being. Nobody likes to see trees go away, but when
it is absolutely necessary, they should go to a better
place than the landfill or burn pile.
