. Choosing wood decking is bad for the environment.

FALSE. Wood is 1007o renewable, recyclable, reusable and biodegradable. Each year, more trees are planted than are harvested, resulting in healthy, thriving forests. Sustainable forests in the U.S. are in better shapeand more plentiful !than they were a century ago.

Scientists know that young trees use less oxygen and are better at carbon sequestration. Bottom line: young, vibrant, well-managed forests = a healthier breathing environment for all of us.

Next time a customer asks for a decking material opinion, stop and think. Maybe even do a little research yourself online. Then go with the environmentally friendly, renewable resource that's strong, durable, beautiful and affordable-choose real wood.
