Comment on How do industries that provide goods like lumber or livestock maintain output when their goods take a long time to develop but get used/processed in a short period of time?
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
