Pine trees? Yes I would say that generally they are good for the environment.

Reagan famously said 'trees pollute more than cars do'. While this is, ofcourse political crazy spin, there are some truth in the trees do emit. Specifically, Isoprene was what Reagan was referring to but to claim that a natural cycle of pine emissions is the same as adding fossil carbon to an existing system is plainly lying.

Also, pine offers products like wood and paper, habitat for animals and other plants, cleans the air and water we need for life...

No question in my mind that pine is good for the environment.

Biomass is not harmful to the environment.

Biomass (the burning of plant material) does add carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere, but it is CO2 that was recently taken out of the atmosphere (when the plants were growing) so this is not extra CO2. Burning biomass then is part of the natural carbon cycle which moves CO2 in and out of the atmosphere.

The carbon dioxide that comes from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) was taken out of the atmosphere millions of years ago, so releasing it now is adding extra CO2 (and causing global warming).

This is why biomass is renewable energy and much better than fossil fuels.

Only by adding to greenhouse gases that are harmful to the atmosphere if huge amounts of it are burned to excess over a long period of time.

Are pine needles good for soil?

Not if you don't want soil that is really acidic. Pine needles are good for mulching, since they take a long time to break down.


Why is burning wood is bad for the environment?

Burning wood is not necessarily bad for the environment. It can be bad, if it is not done with consideration for the environment, but if it is done properly, it can actually be beneficial. Harvesting wood can be bad for the environment, but it need not be. Done responsibly, it is part of good forest management. Burning wood badly puts ash, unwanted gasses, and creosote into the air, which are pollutants. This is what commonly happens, but it can be avoided. Burning wood in a stove with properly designed equipment and complete combustion emits only carbon dioxide and water vapor, with any ash being trapped. There are many designs of stoves that produce little in the way of pollutants. Incomplete combustion, in which the wood is gasified and charcoal is left behind, followed by complete combustion of the wood gasses, can be used for carbon sequestration, and actually puts only carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that originated there, with the sequestered carbon also coming from the atmosphere. This means that the operation of such a unit can have a negative carbon footprint. There is a link below to an article on wood gas generation, where the principles are explained. It has some pictures of wood gasifiers used to provide automotive fuel, among other things.


Is the radiata pine environmentally friendly?

Radiata pine is a fast growing plantation tree. If it is managed well it can be a good renewable source of timber and environmentally friendly.


Is sustainable development good for environment?

Yes. For example: bamboo is more sustainable than wood because trees use lots of water and space whereas bamboo does not. You still need trees though!
