If we do not waste what we have, we will still have it in the future.  CitiLog's recycling practices are beneficial to the environment in many ways.  By diverting "good wood" from the landfill, that would be chipped or burned at best, we feel this wood has a history and a story to tell in the many products that we can create.  

"A sermon is needed on the economy of fuel.  What right has my neighbor to burn 10 cords of wood, when I burn only one?  Thus robbing our half-naked town of this precious midst... One man makes a little of the driftwood of the river or of the dead and refuse (unmarketable) wood of the forest suffice, and nature rejoices in him... He who burns the most wood on his hearth is the least warmed by the sight of it growing... Let men tread gently through nature."
