What a waste? First, loads have trees have been cut down. Second, loads of energy has been expended in transporting the timber. Thirdly lots more energy has been expended in cutting/planking (and planing?) the timber. Fourthly lots more energy has ben expended in transporting the wood to that site. What's holding it all together? Nails & screws? More wasted energy making them etc?

What an absolute waste of time to make that just to set it alight?
