Trees for example take decades to be usable for lumber but it only takes a few minutes to saw one down.
How does the industry maintain a balance when daily demand is constant?

Tomorrow. Because it takes a fucking long time for trees to grow.
There are roughly 3 trillion trees on earth. Even if they don’t replenish, at 1000/day you need roughly 8 million years to run out.
That got me wondering how many we actually cut down each day
Apparently it’s 41 million a day
73170 years at 41 million daily.
That would be 73170 days at 41 million daily, which is roughly 200 years not accounting for any replanting of trees
oh yep you right i was unable to think properly when i typed that comment.
