Quite a bit of the wood they cut is stuff they planted a long time ago. The
really old trees tend to be in national parks and they do not get cut down
as far as I know. If you have never been to the US there are huge areas with
nothing but trees, we have 300M people but there is plenty of unused land
still (unlike old Europe). Not sure why we even import trees from Canada,
must be cheaper I guess.

americans (and other people) build houses all of wood :oO

and when those forests are all cut down, they will still be importing wood
cheaply from Brazil
