Julia Butterfly Hill met with the Ecological Panel Consortium in 2000 on her first trip to Italy whilst promoting her book "The Legacy of Luna" (published by Corbaccio).
She wanted to see and to learn about the production processes that result in the realisation of a Panel that no other country in the world is currently able to manufacture.

"A panel made entirely of recycled wood is like a tree that has been saved, a tree that has not been felled ".

"My smile reflects my joy in seeing how the industrial world is offering a concrete alternative to cutting down trees. The work carried out by the Ecological Panel Consortium cancels the concept of "waste": a concept that shouldn't even exist since everything produced by the earth should return to it. Nothing should be lost. Here I have seen stacks of wood salvaged and I have thought of all the trees that these woodpiles have helped to save."
