#DYK Dry lumber is roughly 50% carbon by weight? Throughout a tree's lifecycle, it absorbs carbon dioxide, capturing and locking carbon inside the wood! 🪵♻️ That means once you’ve built with lumber and other wood-based products, you’ve created a long-lasting carbon bank. 🏦 #ChooseWood #CarbonCapture #SustainableBuilding #BuildwithWood #WoodWorks
