Notes on Sustainable Lumber Labels

If you see this label - feel confident. FOREST STEWARDSHIP COUNCIL or FSC This group works toward managing forests for the long haul, preserving the environment as well as the livelihood of people who depend on logging to survive. http://www.fscus.org/ If you see this label - stay away. SUSTAINABLE FORESTRY INITIATIVE or SFI This is NOT a true sustainable label. Instead of being a certification by a third party organization, this is a group run by timber companies. They consider clear cuttiing the forest sustainable! More info - http://www.dontbuysfi.com/
