SUMMARY:Using trees for energy and materials: unpacking sustainability concerns
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Patricia Thornley\, Director\, Energy and Bioproducts Research Institute\, Aston University \n\n\n\nA is for apple … T is for Tree \n\n\n\nFrom our earliest years we are introduced to trees: in the classroom; in fairy stories of magic treesand deep dark woods; in the natural world around us (climbing\, swinging\, gathering leaves andconkers). They are deeply ingrained in our landscape\, our heritage\, our lives. \n\n\n\nSo when people suggest that we cut down trees or use them differently we rightly get annoyed.Something inside tells us that it “just isn’t right” …. Or is it? Climate change is a huge global problemand trees can be a key part of our response to and adaptation for climate change. Smart use of treescould help us achieve lower global temperatures in the long term\, but the problem (and solution)are dynamic and some of the scientific insights around carbon can be counter-intuitive. \n\n\n\nPatricia Thornley has been studying the role of trees and plants in combatting climate change forlonger than she would like to remember and will share the latest scientific knowledge on how treesinterface with climate change and what the carbon consequences really are of cutting trees down. \n\n\n\nBut there is more to life than carbon and we will also discuss the wider environmental\, economicand social impacts of our sometimes fragile co-existence with the trees that are likely to outlive usand possibly outpace our efforts to mitigate carbon emissions.
