By home, you mean a western-style stick built single-family residence with a garage and a spare bedroom? In many (maybe most?) parts of the world homes, owned or otherwise, are not constructed out of wood. I think the criticism would find a better mount on a land ownership argument. Though, units in multi-family buildings can be owned as well.

Homes allow for families to be established, families consume resources. So even if you found a way to build a home that’s more environmentally friendly, it’s still requires land which requires clear cutting of forests. And the family itself will need to eat which means the killing of more animals.
