Trees

Trees are vital to those of us who build garden offices as they are the main building material. However it is a necessity that local wood is used or you are just adding carbon miles to the building. Here at InsideOut Buildings we use European CLS from sustainale sources for structural timbers and larch cladding sourced in Scotland or Northumbria
In addition it is key that we all support the fight against rain forest deforestation. Planting a tree in the Uk to offset climate change doesn't help. Planting trees and protecting the rain forests does, becuase these forests are the lungs of the earth. Friends of the Earth have a full list of all the organisations involved in protecting trees. see http://www.foe.co.uk/index.html
