domtars completely managed forests in canada
May 12th, 2007
We all use paper. Some of us use wood. If you look hard enough, there are wood and paper products that are harvested in a sustainable fashion. For wood, you can look for the FSC (forest stewardship council) label on the lumber itself. For paper, there are usually crests on the packaging, but I really don’t purchase much paper so I’m not as familiar with the labeling.
To make life easier, you can just purchase Domtar products. Domtar partnered with WWF a little while ago to ensure that all of their forests (8 million hectares in canada) are FSC certified. This is a pretty heavy mandate, but an important step in pushing the forestry industry towards change.
