<p>I think the answer would be (have been?) to not use
pressure-treated wood for the deck. There are a lot of greener
options for decking that don’t involve any chemical preservatives.</p>

<pre wrap="">I have a deck project coming up that will require the use of copper green to treat the cut ends of pressure-treated wood.
I was hoping to find a viable alternative to copper green but am not coming up with much, and nothing from our local lumber yards that proudly advertise themselves as committed to green building and green products. They carry some green products but for the most part are not very green, and my inquires about wood treatment have not resulted in anything other than conventional knowledge.
Any products anyone has used with good results? I have a respirator and latex gloves and will use copper green if necessary, but I’d like to think that by now we’d have a viable alternative to PT!
