Well, mass timber panels, these new products that we're using, are much like the log.

If you start to say no to timber of suspicious origin, to timber with an unknown origin, the market will begin to weaken and they will no longer see the results they hoped for.

It was built by the timber of Her Majesty's Ship Resolute and given by Queen Victoria.

So in fact, the price of timber in the Beijing marketplace ought to have been three times what it was had it reflected the true pain and the costs to the society within China.

We've been engineering them with an engineer named Eric Karsh who works with me on it, and we've been doing this new work because there are new wood products out there for us to use, and we call them mass timber panels.

If you would use a little bit of your technology to put tracking devices in trucks, and use Google Earth in combination with that, you could directly tell what palm oil has been sustainably produced, which company is stealing the timber, and you could save so much more carbon than with any measure of saving energy here.
