שימוש יעיל וחסכני בעצים שכבר נחטבו - בית הספר לדיבור מול קהל

This article is part of a series of articles on dealing with global warming through carbon adsorption out of the atmosphere. The claim is that carbon capture weakens the Greenhouse Effect By reducing the amount Greenhouse gases.

As we know, a very large amount of plants are cut down every year - this is a problem, and it should be fought and reduced - but it is a fact. Moreover, in the last few centuries, a huge amount of trees have been cut down, parts of which are still in a solid state as furniture or wooden houses. It is very important to prevent the chemical decomposition of all this amount of wood, in order to prevent the emission of the carbon stored in it.
The purpose of this course of action is to make sure that the vegetation that has been cut down will not decompose in a way that will lead to the emission of carbon back into the atmosphere. As stated in the opening, every year the world's plants emit 61.6 billion tons of carbon when they die or burn. A cut in this amount could greatly help the status of the forests as a sink for carbon.

This can be done in a number of ways, the first and most surprising of which is in landfills, which are often a source of sharp criticism from ecologists. This criticism deals with the fact that there is no oxygen in the soil, and therefore the organic materials that are buried there do not decompose. Of course, there are negative ecological consequences of withholding nutrients from the food chain, but in terms of greenhouse gases this has a very positive aspect: the organic substances do not decompose, and therefore the carbon in them does not return to the atmosphere.

Another channel is the wood industry - when the trees, instead of dying in the forest, are cut down and arrive at the factory where they become furniture or wooden houses, it is guaranteed that for a very long period of time, sometimes hundreds of years, the carbon in them will remain in a solid form. In this aspect, the technology of using the waste of the trees, such as reusable sawdust such as wood chips, is also important. This ensures that this waste will not be burned but will also remain in a solid state, and its carbon will not find its way into the atmosphere.
