Vielleicht interessiert es euch auch, uns berührt es insofern direkt, als das wir für das Feuerholz fürs Tierheim dieses Jahr den 3-fachen Preis bezahlen mussten und es nur mit Mühe und Not beschafft werden konnte. Mesi hat mir erklärt warum die Preise dieses Jahr so hoch sind und das sie Monate gebraucht hat um überhaupt einen Lieferanten zu finden, der uns Holz verkauft.

I try to explain this firewood problem: why there is not enough wood and why its so expensive.
This started years ago but only now we are suffering the real consequences of it. Big wood exporting factories had appeared in Romania and started to buy huge amounts of cutted wood from everybody: from private persons and companies too for a much higher price than anybody ever payed before. So everybody started to sell for them because they gived this high price. They have brought such big amounts of wood that people started to even cut a lot of trees ilegal just to have what to sell for them. These all happened years ago. There was a lot of fighting among enviromental activist and this wood exporting companies about this hole problem. The bigest problem of all (next to the long term enviromental damage usw) was them accepting ilegally cuted wood just to have the amount they wanted to export. I am sending you a couple short videos about all this. They are from earlier years when all this started.

After a while the goverment made some new laws and some changes to stop ilegal cuts. I would say now its almost imposible to cut trees ilegaly.
For us here in Hargita county the bigest danger is the factory which is in Covasna county next to us because its closer than any other factory before. This factory was opened in 2015 and already last year started to creat problems in the wood market.

Last winter already was harder to buy wood and the prices started to get higher. But this year it was almost impossible to find wood for sale. And it will not be better.
All this because these factories still want to take the same amount of wood than earlier used to. But that amount ment ilegal+legal wood now it has to be covered from legal wood only. So they buy everything they can find on the market. This means that nothing remains for the population. Or what remains is very expansive being a missing articol on the market. Thats why firewood and constraction wood or any other kind of wood got unrealistically expensive. They say it stars to worth more than gold. And unfortunatelly its seems to be true its not exagarated at all.
This is how I can describe this not very simple situation.
