Are matches usually made out of otherwise "waste" wood, or are trees actually grown specifically for this fate?

If the latter, I think I'm going to have to get a tinderbox...

hmm waste wood hopefully,
that would be very wasteful to grow trees...
into matchs
so they could be burned...

What about paper/cardboard matches, I'm fairly certain that they are made from the lowest grade paper they can possibly use, and so are not getting any trees killed for that purpose. There are also some very nice fuel-less electric lighters, but then again I'm far more of a technopagan/kin than you are.

Well said, I typically assume that most people are less inclined to mix high technology and their spiritual practice, but I am also perfectly will (and somewhat pleased) to be proven wrong about this.
