Why do we cut trees?

Hi internet, today I am gonna talk about trees. Not its structure but why do people cut them down for their wood. What do they do with the wood? Well as we all know, deforestation is a very serious problem today. Tree felled at an alarming rate!

Knowledge 1: About half of the world's original forests had been destroyed by 2011.

So, what do use the wood for?

Knowledge 2: The wood obtained for trees are used in many areas.  1. Fuel. It use be a source of fuel back in the days and now it is taken over by fossil fuels now. However, wood is still used as a combustion medium for certain culinary cuisines such as pizza and also use it certain house warmers. FYI most heater now might show digital imae of fire but its not really fire... hehe.

2. Construction. Wood has been an important construction material since humans began building shelters, houses and boats. Nearly all boats were made out of wood until the late 19th century, and wood remains in common use today in boat construction.Wood to be used for construction work is commonly known as lumber in North America. Elsewhere, lumber usually refers to felled trees, and the word for sawn planks ready for use is timber. Hehe, remember what woodcutters say when they chop down a tree. TIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In buildings construction, wood is also used as a supporting material.

3. Furnitures and utensils. I admit wood is used in making furnitures is pretty appropriate but
using it for making utensils is just.... unorthodox......

4.Sports equipment. It is used in almost all racket sports back in the day. FYI, the strings of a
tennis racket back in the day was made of cow's intestine called the serosa.

I mean why do we need to use wood for all of the stuff mentioned above?? Dont we have material engineers to invent different materials to substitute all the uses above. Trees itself is much more valuable than any of the ways we humans use it. Think about it.
