On these sites trees are grown for harvesting purpose only and as soon as old trees are cut new trees are planted at the same time. At times, the furniture which looks wooden is not actually made of wood. It can be a product of bamboo which is a fast growing grass.

You do your part (every tiny bit is important because as they say “water drops make an ocean”) in reducing waste and saving the environment.
