Read between the lines: I’m saying figure out a better way to grow wood or make bricks.
Sawdust is not a waste material though, burying it is waste. Make paper or particle board out of it.
> While in theory any tree can be used for pulp-making, coniferous trees are preferred because the cellulose fibers in the pulp of these species are longer, and therefore make stronger paper.
Basically though, more carbon needs to go into the ground than the air. AA (in this specific instance) is pushing carbon in the right direction.
So it all makes "economic" sense, and of course it is completely mental. But this is what late-stage, ultra-financiarized capitalism is all about (the same kind where they would destroy a good completed movie (Acme vs. Coyote) for tax purposes): pushing numbers.
1) Get an agreement from the federal government to cut free timber on federal lands[1]. Prioritize timber that's nearest to the lee-side of a given range. Replant, obviously.
2) Transport your timber (downhill, hurray!) to one of the many adjacent deserts [2]. (Extra points for using hybrid trucks + regenerative braking).
3) Pile loosely. Deserts and fungus don't mix, so your carbon will stay put.
There's no new business model, no new market to create, no upstream bottlenecks, no moving dirt. Just cutting and stacking free carbon sticks.
