Interested in an environmentally sound approach to using wood and paper?  Want people to know you care about the environment?Forest certification can help......depending on which certification system you choose!Choosing products from forests certified by the independent Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) can be an important part of using wood and paper more sustainably. FSC certification is your assurance that wood and paper products come from forests that meet strict environmental and social standards. The FSC is the choice of most conservation groups that promote certification—and of a growing number of responsible businesses, including The Home Depot, IKEA, Dell Computer, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Gap, Nike, Norm Thompson Outfitters, Starbucks, The Body Shop, and Lowe's. But the timber industry’s Sustainable Forestry Initiative does not protect forests or deliver credible assurances. The SFI condones environmentally harmful practices including large-scale clearcutting and chemical use, logging of old growth and endangered forests, and replacement of forests by ecologically degraded tree plantations. And there’s no guarantee that many products marketed as SFI have any connection to SFI certified forests. Most other forest certification systems also permit destructive logging practices. If you haven’t already, please consider adopting an environmentally sound wood and paper policy—and don’t buy into the SFI’s claims.  "The FSC is the most credible and scientifically sound standard in the marketplace. It provides far more environmental protection and social responsibility than other certification systems. And it has helped us meet our most important sustainability goals."-Norm Thompson Outfitters    more testimonials Fully independent and not overly influenced by timber industry.
