Timber Suppliers in Brisbane Support Sustainable Forest Management
Announcement posted by Narangba Timbers 09 Aug 2017
Timber suppliers reveal why sustainable forest management is important to Brisbane and across Australia.
Brisbane,WA, 09 August 2017 - Of all the timber suppliers in Brisbane, one has stepped to the forefront when it comes to advocating sustainable forest management. That timber supplier is Narangba Timbers.
Narangba Timbers is a third generation family business owned by Jack Kyle. According to Mr Kyle:
“We think it is the duty of ethical timber suppliers in Brisbane, across Australia and around the world to advocate and support sustainable forest management. Not only are we a third-generation family business, many of our customers are also third-generation customers. Our families have gotten to know many of them and their families.”
Mr Kyle continued: “We feel strongly that it is our responsibility to leave our world better than we found it. We want our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to inherit a world that is livable and enjoyable. At our current rate of climate change, we don't see that happening. By the time our children are trying to retire, Australia could lose trillions of dollars worth of property, businesses and housing, especially if climate change and melting of polar ice continue at their current rate.. This is not acceptable to us.”
Sustainable forest management is based upon planting a tree to replace every tree that is harvested for timber. This is important because trees store carbon, thus keeping it from adding to our carbon footprint.
Why the Carbon Footprint and Carbon Storage are Important.
Greenhouse gases cause climate change. The best current measurement for the amount of greenhouse gases produced by any process or person is called the carbon footprint. The carbon footprint is defined as the amount of carbon a process or person emits into the environment.
Trees help fight climate change because they have a negative carbon footprint. They breathe carbon from the air and store it as timber. They release the oxygen back into the environment, making the environment more oxygen-rich.
When trees are harvested unethically, less carbon is being stored in the environment because those trees are gone. This contributes to climate change because more greenhouse gases in the form of carbon end up in the environment.
The concept of sustainable forest management is simple. The forests are treated like plantations where a tree is planted to replace every tree that is harvested. This is a sustainable cycle in which the balance of oxygen to carbon dioxide is maintained in the environment.
Timber Suppliers and Their Ethical Responsibility
Mr Kyle added further: “We want to see every timber supplier fulfill their ethical responsibility to their communities and their environment. We can't force anyone else to do anything, but we always do everything we can to make sure that all of our timber comes from ethical, sustainable sources.”
Mr Kyle concluded: “We want all timber suppliers to support sustainable forest management as if the future of their children and grandchildren depends on it. Because it does.”
