We can purchase products that have the Forest Stewardship Council label . The FSC label means that the materials were created from a responsibly managed forest . The FSC helps protect ecosystems , including protecting wildlife and rivers and the trees we depend on to produce the oxygen we breathe . FSC also provides better working and living conditions for families who depend on forestry for work .
FSC labels assures that the products you buy are from forests managed responsibly , meaning forests are not clear cut and trees are removed in such a way as to maintain the health and biodiversity of the forest . When forests are managed responsibly it means we are investing in a healthy future for both wildlife and people .
We challenge you to look for the FSC label when shopping for your home . Can you find five products you use on a daily basis that can be switched to FSC certified ? It will make a difference to the animals who call forests their home . Healthy forests mean clean air to breathe and a healthier future for the planet .
