Talk:Urban lumberjacking

Carbon negative
The displacement of fossil fuels by biofuels such as waste wood is considered to be carbon neutral, not carbon negative. Carbon is still released into the air through the fuels combustion, however due to the growing cycle of trees it is assumed that it is replaced by growth of other trees.--Alex 17:08, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Carbon implications
The whole section is unfounded nonsense, removed as it is nothing but a set of (incorrect) opinions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.64.90.192 (talk) 17:25, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Incorrectly described 'Urban lumberjack'
An urban lumberjack in popular parlance is someone who does work on trees in urban areas, or someone who recovers fallen trees in urban areas and cuts them into logs, mainly for burning. It is not a known term used for people who reclaim wood from demolition or other sources, as far as I know. The is article is linked from 'Recycled timber'. It appears to give Ikea green credentials. Ikea is a company which habitually recommends that its customers throw away perfectly reusable old products and replaces them with new, often less durable or well made, Ikea products. Ikea is now a big user of greenwashing itself. This entire article, and the links to it, should be deleted.
