How long does it take for firewood to dry if it comes from a tree that has already been down but not cut for 1 year?

Excellent question with a lot of "depends on" answers: What kind of tree? Some season quicker than others. Oak takes a long time (up to to 2 years in the best of conditions) while maple is much faster. Has the tree been lying on its side on the ground the whole time. if so, it may be rotten as the tree will lay in the wet ground and not season at all, but rot away. Has the tree laid in the forest in the shade or out in a field in the sun? Was it cut up at all, say into sections. The best answer is that, if you want dry wood, you need to cut it up and split it and season it for almost the same amount of time as if it were cut down yesterday.

Do trees scream when they are chopped down?

I bet they scream inside, or in a high pitch so we can't hear them, but they can't fight back or anything! I reckon they do know when they're going to die and scream just like we do.

If you're in America, they probably come from Florida or California. They are thought to originate in India and China originally before being brought to Europe during the time of Ancient Rome and then the Americas.

So I would say that no, they do not come from rainforests.

Why are'nt there rainforests in British Isles?

Because it has the wrong type of climate. Although there is plenty of rain in the UK, it is far too cold. Incidentally, most of the native forests in the UK were harvested several hundred years ago to supply fuel for industry (iron-smelting) house building and to clear the land for agriculture, much the same as the Brazilians are being criticized for now.

How do developed nations such as the US play a part in rain forest destruction?

A couple of things come to mind.

But, first, it's important to understand what products come from rainforest. Rainforests produce some of the hardest, most exotic, beautiful woods in the world. Many of these woods can be found nowhere else. Certain tropical plants (like palm trees) are the source for palm oils. Other plants are have medicinal value. Rainforest are also the source for rubber and cork.

Once we understand what products come from rain forests and how it affects the forests, we can look at what we do to contribute to the problem.

Developed nations' hunger for these products drives most of the harvesting in our world's tropical forests. We are willing to pay and make it financially rewarding for countries to destroy their beautiful forests. We build our homes or remodel them and pay for expensive, exotic woods; palm oil is cheap and seemingly benign; we use rubber and cork everywhere; and we don't even think about our medicines.

Once we become aware of our part in the destruction of the world's rainforests, we can take steps to reverse what is becoming a worldwide crisis. We can avoid products like palm oil and exotic hardwoods. We can limit our use of rubber and cork; and we can insist on synthetic only medicines.

When we must use products that can't be obtained from a source other than a rainforest, we can insist that the product come from a sustainable source, meaning that no trees were killed or habitat harmed for the product, or that the product is sourced from an area that is certified where no old growth is destroyed. We can also insist that that a product come from a source that is replenished as fast, if not faster, than it is exhausted.

Rainforests are also being cleared at an alarming rate to make way for agriculture--grazing animals and farming. To prevent this from happening, we can refuse to purchase products that are imported from these areas.

As it is with the destruction of earth's resources, it is done for financial gain. If there is no financial incentive, it will discourage the destruction of an environmentally critical and limited resource.
