Did U Know...
Apparently it takes a rosewood tree about 200 yrs to mature before it can be cut down to be made into furniture???
Imagine! Ur lounge set or bedroom set or dining set was once a 200-yr-old tree.
According to the salesman that was attending to us, rosewood is becoming more scarce (due to exploitation), hence, the high price of the furniture.
But is it worth it to chop down a 200-yr-old tree just to make furniture???
Think about it...

So we stop buying 200 year old trees disguised as furniture.. for a start. And buy papiermache ones!! :-) It's all about moderation.. There's so much we can do, but we don't. In the name of convenience too.. *sigh*
