Make It Wood

alt

'Make It Wood - Do Your World Some Good' aims to encourage the increased use of responsibly sourced wood as a building material. When sourced responsibly, wood can play a big part in helping tackle climate change. This is because wood is a low carbon option for building - when used in long-lived applications it stores carbon for the long-term, it is renewable and it has a lower embodied energy than many other building materials such as concrete, steel or plastics.

Wood is unique among building materials because it is a natural carbon store - up to 50% of its dry weight is carbon. Responsibly sourced wood products store the carbon that the growing trees have removed from the air.

Substituting wood products for more greenhouse gas intensive building products could reduce the emissions of a typical house by up to 18 tonnes across the whole life of the house - this is more than a medium sized car emits over seven years.

Australian Mens Shed Association

The modern Men’s Shed is an updated version of the shed in the backyard that has long been a part of Australian culture. Men’s Sheds are springing up all around Australia. If you looked inside one you might see a number of men restoring furniture, perhaps restoring bicycles for a local school, maybe making Mynah bird traps or fixing lawn mowers or making a kids cubby house for Camp Quality to raffle. You might also see a few young men working with the older men learning new skills and maybe also learning something about life from the men they work with. You will see tea-bags, coffee cups and a comfortable area where men can sit and talk. You will probably also see an area where men can learn to cook for themselves or they can learn how to contact their families by computer.

Want a career as a carpenter? Start with an Australian Apprenticeship

The carpentry trade is an integral part of the building and construction industry in Australia.

There is a wide range of opportunities in carpentry available, from cabinet making to working on residential building sites, commercial building sites or industrial sites.

It is also a great career choice if you want to become your own boss, and own a successful business.

To become a qualified carpenter, an Australian Apprenticeship is a great place to start. You combine training and employment and when you have completed your apprenticeship you will receive a nationally recognised qualification.

To find out more, watch the Australian Apprenticeships video here, visit www.australianapprenticeships.gov.au or phone 13 38 73.
