Climate change you can help Smithers of Stamford stop it

Have you noticed how the weather has slightly changed in the recent years? Perhaps you think you’re just imagining things, because you’ve heard your parents and grandparents complain from the same thing.

But you’re actually right to worry, causes of climate change is an absolutely real and serious problem. With the increasing number of the world population, our needs as a mankind increase as well.

We need food, clean water, homes, energy for these homes, and for our fabrics, and for our vehicles… and we need more and more of them.

Trees are a vital part of life on Earth – even more important than humans themselves! Trees and plants absorb the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and turn it into oxygen via photosynthesis. Physicists and astronomers have actually suggested that it was photosynthesis that contributed to the lowering of carbon dioxide levels in early Earth’s atmosphere and made our planet habitable.

The math is simple: more trees, less carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is what causes the greenhouse effect and changes the climate, by increasing the surface temperature on Earth. If our atmosphere had more carbon dioxide content than it does now, our planet would reverse back to a poisonous, lifeless desert… much like Mars.

So if we don’t want this to happen, we have to think about our trees. Vegetation is an integral part of the climate and climate change indicates that there might be something wrong with how we treat our wood resources.

But we need our trees for so much more than energy and oxygen: wood is our primary construction material, right?

Fortunately, there is a great sustainable solution to that problem and it is called reclaimed wood furniture

Smithers of Stamford offer an exclusive range of high quality , made entirely from recycled boat wood. They use boats, which had reached the end of their lifespan and dismantle them into large planks. After all bolts, nails and screws are removed, the planks are left to dry up.

And after that, the magic happens. By preserving all the features of the boat, including every crack and hole, Smithers of Stamford make sure that each and every design they make is completely unique.

Moreover, because their boat wood has survived years of use and years of erosion, their furniture is extremely sturdy and long-lasting.
