Some environmentally friendly alternatives to cutting down fir trees for lumber production include bamboo, which can be harvested renewably, and recycled materials such as old wood pallets or fly-ash bricks. Some companies are also using mycelium—the fibrous threads of a mushroom—to create sustainable materials for making furniture and other products.

Some alternatives to cutting down fir trees for lumber production include bamboo, which is a renewable resource and can grow to maturity in as little as three years; recycled materials, such as old wood and plastic; biomass energy, by using waste plant materials such as straw or cottonstalks to create biofuels; or using 3D printing technology to produce objects without requiring wood.
