    they meet fire regulation standards just like other building materials and actually because of its high fiber density CLT is inherently more fire resistant that any other building material, even concrete. Also, because of its high density sound dissipation and control is far higher that steel or concrete. Plenty of case studies out there.

    The amount of CO2 a tree absorb slows down as they row older, meaning cutting them down and planting new ones is more efficient, By building in wood we constantly remove older trees that are less efficient and plant new ones that absorb more CO2.

    But isn't the world forests already shrinking from our current rate of lumber use? To promote building buildings with floors and walls of solid wood panels higher than ever before seems backward and neglects generations of engineering efficiency. These buildings can be erected within a year or two but a single tree takes decades to mature depending on conditions plus they become homes for many wild life. If a single house now uses 3 or 4 trees by spacing the studs, how many trees are need for a skyscraper of mass timber?

    Forest is not shrinking because of the lumber use rate, it is shrinking because other uses (agriculture, infrastructure or buildings) allocate the areas. Up to today, worldwide huge amounts of forest are burned down intentionally because there is no economic use for a forest and they want to convert it to farm land. I think this shows that there is not enough use for wood in these countries, otherwise you would not burn it. Instead countries which traditionally use a lot of wood value their forests. Canada and Scandinavia has, despite intensive use by the paper and other industry, huge amounts of forest. As soon as it is valued, you care about your forest.

    Concrete is one of the least environmentally friendly building materials in large part due to the huge amount of CO2 released during the production of portland cement, and can not be recycled. Steel can be recycled an almost infinite amount but is incredibly energy intensive to produce, and needs to be treated with a number of toxic substances such as chromium, and hydrochloric acid. Timber can be sustainably harvested, sequesters carbon, and can be recycled at least once. Most deforestation isn't due to an over harvesting of wood for timber, although it does play a part where certain decorative woods like teak and mahogany are common. Most deforestation is due to land clearing for other commercial reasons such as creating new farm or gazing land, or encroaching human settlement.
