Climate change is not a prediction, it is a current certainty. We are already seeing changes to our planet as the world warms and our greenhouse gases alter the atmosphere, but there are many more still to be seen.

At EcoChoice, we champion woodland conservation. By only ever sourcing timber from responsibly managed forests for our decking, cladding and other wood products, we give our customers an ecologically responsible option.
Under the umbrella of climate change is our forests - specifically how much of it we have left. We all know we need natural landscaped to survive, but how close would the Doomsday Clock get to midnight if all of our trees disappeared?

You may have noticed in news reports on global warming that if the earth warms by over 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, we will step onto dangerous ground.
