Wood also stands out as an entity that has a positive effect on people’s emotions, thoughts, attitudes and behaviors throughout history. Because wood is also known for providing communication, which is an exchange of information between two or more people belonging to different cultures, and/or among generations in the same culture, that is at the heart of human interaction, almost everyone agrees that wood is important and valuable as a material and an entity in the context of the development of civilization and humanity.
