As I understand the matter, it's because cement requires relatively
large amounts of energy to burn the lime/chalk and again to transport
the result, especially if it's bought as ready-mix (I doubt concrete
post manufacturers do this, though).
Wood is better :-)

because it's cut down in 3rd world rain forests? ;-)

Our fence posts were/are nice native larch, cut down in its prime to
permit the (some) broadleave reforestation of all those welsh
hillsides... :-)

I expected that :-)

and it walked all the way to your garden :-)

Wish it did, and could dig its own holes into the bargain...

LOL You'd make a fortune with posts like that.
