The Guardian Covers Tall Wood Construction; Treehugger Covers the Comment Section.

The Guardian has published an article on tall wood construction, specifically on two towers being built in New York City and Portland. However, it is the comments section of the article that has drawn the most attention as it repeats misconceptions and inaccuracies about building with wood.

Lloyd Alter of Treehugger covers the comments addressing them one by one to debunk the misconceptions. These include deforestation, carbon dioxide emissions, the use of glue in the construction, fire safety, and the idea that people stopped building tall buildings with wood. The article argues that building with wood can be done sustainably and does not pose a threat to fire safety or human health.
