Wood demand and BC logging urged to grow supply
Dr Wink Sutton argues world wood demand will outrun supply and BC must expand the annual cut. He notes BC is the top wood consumer per capita, with 55 cents of every dollar from forestry, and stresses renewable wood and forest management to sustain Canada as a leading producer. He cautions substitutes are energy intensive and population grows by 100 million yearly.
