alt Hacker NewsEver wonder if wood is really a renewable resource? Once you see a 4th generation forest, you start to realize we might be running pretty short.
This seems to bounce back and forth, for awhile it was save the trees, now it's cut down trees to save the world apparently?

The wood they are using comes from tree farming, not deforestation. It's pretty low density fast growing wood that's about as renewable as it gets. Worlds better than plastic at the least.
The wood used for disposable utensils comes from farmed, very fast growing trees like bamboo and balsa: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ochroma
