Major
DIY stores, supermarkets, and trade retailers are committed to the FSC
standard which is supported by Greenpeace, World Wide Fund for Nature
(WWF) and other environmental groups.
As an active consumer you should:
- Avoid
wood products from ancient forests which don't carry the FSC label. Ask
retailers for a list of products from ancient forest which don't carry
the FSC label so that you can avoid them.
- Support companies which are selling FSC certified products.
-
Look out for non-destructive Amazon products, such as B & Q's Santa
Cruz garden furniture from community FSC forests in the Bolivian
Amazon.
- If you work for a company that can help market Amazon solutions contact us with details.
- If you've got innovative technical or design notions on how to increase the value of non-timber Amazon products for the local communities (eg rubber processing) get in touch with us.
