COP26

Hi,

I've been watching the developments at COP26 with interest.

I see they've just made an agreement to stop and reverse deforestation. But some people are saying that deforestation will always continue, as long as there is demand for the products like palm oil, soy and beef, that are grown on deforested land.

One of my great regrets is that I didn't realise my clarinet was made from a really amazing rainforest tree until after I bought it. I keep thinking that one day I would like to have its twin A clarinet, but obviously if I bought one of those, then I'd be encouraging the industry to fell yet another amazing tree to replace it.

I wondered if the clarinet community might have it's own little COP26 meeting and make a firm pledge to stop buying solid wood clarinets, so at to put an end to our part in driving deforestation? If we all agreed to switch to clarinets made from stuff like the greenline wood then perhaps we could push the manufacturers to stop cutting down whole big trees to make professional clarinets.

I wondered if I could just put this out there, as a thought?

Thanks!

Jennifer
