If you are looking to purchase an FSC   certified product, you can be assured of many positive things.  You can rest easy knowing that the soil was protected, that wildlife was not harmed, and that local communities were consulted. In addition, you can be certain that the wood or paper product you are using is being replenished in responsibly managed forests.

​

Products carrying the FSC   logo are harvested under the toughest guidelines in the environmental industry.  Recycling is certainly a good practice, but it is not enough to ensure sustainability.  This is because the fiber in wood and in paper can only be recycled a few times.  What is more even critical than recycling, reusing, and reducing consumption is making certain that a strict framework is in place to properly manage forests so they may harvested with many elements in consideration.  Buying FSC   materials not only positively affects the future of the forests, but it also is critical to preserving freshwater sources, wildlife habitats, and native people of the land.

​
