did you know.... Cork is one of the most sustainable materials in the world. To extract cork from cork oak trees not one single tree is cut down. Instead, bark is peeled away and then the cork is carefully extracted by very highly skilled harvesters. The trees are in no way damaged – the cork is naturally renewable and grows back after nine years – preserving the forest in it’s pristine entirety, and enabling perpetual harvesting with no damage to the forest or ecosystem. There are over 6,200,000 acres growing in 6 European countries (Spain, Portugal, Algeria, Morocco, France, Italy and Tunisia). now you know, I know, you know. :D
