Publisher's Synopsis
It's no secret that the threat of wildfires has steadily grown in the United States since the 1980s. Part of the reason is human encroachment. Another significant factor is climate change. Reversing climate change will not happen overnight, and people will continue to roll the dice to live in woodland areas. But what can be done now is to minimize the property and environmental damage caused by fires.
To that end Steve Conboy, founder of M-Fire Holdings, has developed non-toxic, plant-based products and systems that help property owners defend their homes and businesses from wildfires. In this book he explains the critical part better controlling wildfires plays in defending the carbon stored in wood buildings. In this book he also advocates for additional reforestation, investments in clean solar and wind energy, and providing better and faster ways to proactively defend wildlands from fires to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect its flora, fauna, and water sources from the toxic chemicals currently used in firefighting. "I created this system because I was tired of seeing so many people lose their homes and have their lives uprooted. And what sets this system apart is that our core product is an eco-friendly, proactive, wildfire defense solution for property owners as well as for mass timber producers and prefab factory-built housing developers. It offers everyone a tangible way to play an integral part in keeping our planet sustainable by reducing the CO2 released into our environment."
