  I’m just saying we aren’t helping ourselves with this plastic throw-away culture we’ve developed. Things like fine wood furniture can last as long as the owner wants it to. Every time something is replaced, it ends up somewhere in the environment, and we have the carbon footprint of something new being made. Beautifully made objects tend to be restored when they get old and ratty. When was the last time a Frank Lloyd Wright house was torn down to be replaced by a McMansion? That wood is sequestered.

  That carbon will stay sequestered if the trees are cut down, and the wood is used to build something that lasts for a long time.

  Does the AI know that it would have to pay me to fly Delta? Has it been trained on that data?
