Facts behind tree

In this highly industrialized era, the production of many items has become very fast. Rapid mass production has indeed greatly improved the quality of human life, and all aspects of daily life have become more convenient. The production of daily necessities and furniture has become easy and fast. At the same time, the use cycle has also become very short. It is easily damaged and cannot or is difficult to repair. If it is broken or not broken, it feels outdated. It is easy and commonplace to replace the old with the new.

Convenience at the material level has failed to sublimate people's inner being. People's hearts have become impatient, impatient, and short-sighted. They only see short-term benefits and ignore the long-term disasters, such as the most common environmental damage. Many pieces of furniture today have a useful life ranging from months to years. The utensils made by our ancestors can be used by descendants for hundreds of years and are still strong.

The reason for this is not because current technology cannot do that, but because today's impetuous people are unwilling to make wooden utensils that can be used for a long time. There are even solid wood utensils that are passed down to future generations.

Although all artificial boards are made from recycled waste wood, large amounts of formaldehyde are released both during the manufacturing process and in the finished product, which is a toxic substance harmful to the human body and a carcinogen. Moreover, the service life of furniture made of artificial panels is very short, and the waste is serious, which is extremely harmful to the environment and human health.

在这个高度工业化的时代，很多物品的生产制造已经变得非常快，快速大量的生产确实是大大提高了人类的生活质量，日常生活的各方面都变得更加便利。生活用品，家具的生产变得轻而易举，快的同时，使用周期也变得很短，容易损坏不能或难以修复，坏了或者没坏，觉得过时了，汰旧换新，轻而易举，稀松平常。

物质层面的便利，却没能使人的内在得到升华，人心变得毛躁，没耐性，短视，只看见短时间内的效益，罔顾了长久以后带来的祸害，如最常发生的环境化工污染。现今的许多家具，使用期短则数月长则数年。而祖先造的器物都能用上百年五六代子孙使用任然牢固，这其中原因不是因为现在的工艺打造不出实木制作的木制器具，而是现在浮躁的人心不愿制作能够长久使用的甚至留传后代的实木器具

所有人造板材虽然是利用废木料回收加工制成，但不论是制造过程中，还是制成品，都会释放大量甲醛，是对人体有害的有毒物质，为致癌物。而且人造板材制造的家具使用期非常短，而且浪费情况严重，对环境及人体健康的危害极大。
