Question

Do you think the United States uses more than its share of the world's timber? why or why not? PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE HELPPPP I BEGGED YOUUUUU PLEASEEEE

Answer 1

yes The United States of America has eight percent of the forested area of the world - some 770 million acres (312 million hectares). Fourteen percent of the world's growing stock (including 18 percent of the softwood growing stock) is in the United States. This country cuts about one fifth of the timber removed from the world's forests. Although some forest products are exported, most of this cut is for domestic consumption. The United States also imports more forest products than she exports. Imports are primarily softwood lumber, newsprint paper, wood pulp and pulpwood
