Is burning wood environmentally friendly?
Yes, wood is a renewable natural resource – well managed forests are a renewable, sustainable source of energy that helps us reduce greenhouse gas emissions and be less dependent on oil & gas. Wood is also carbon neutral. This means that as trees grow they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When trees die and are left to decompose in the forest or burn in forest fires the carbon stored in the trees is released in the atmophere as carbon dioxide. Burning firewood produces the same amount of carbon dioxde as it has absorbed during it’s life cycle – making wood burning carbon neutral. In addition Regency is committed to restoring nature’s balance with our One Regency, One Tree program. Click here for details.
