Why is afforestation not a global sprint, should this be a thing: * "I spend all my holidays planting trees." * "I'd never buy clear cut timber products." * ... "There was 6.8Mha of forest growth over 2015-25, but 10.9Mha of forest lost." www.carbonbrief.org/un-report-fi....

If we want more homes, better built, quicker and with a lower carbon footprint - then many of them are going to offsite construction and timber frame. We need to be growing more of that timber and board and insulation in the U.K. 🌲
