It would make much more sense to build houses out of those logs instead of storing them on big piles. That way you can reduce concrete use in buildings, which itself is a major source of carbon emissions.

Log houses have been a thing for a LONG time in many parts of the world, and other types of wooden building exists as well. It seems like environmentalists have totally forgotten this obvious and superior form of carbon sink.

Here in Finland we're building even large blocks of flats from wooden materials these days. Yet the EU keeps telling us not to utilize our forests as much as we do now...
