Sustainable Forestry
In many parts of the world, governments are passing new laws to protect
old-growth forests from being cut down. There are also things we can
do at home to help preserve native forests and support sustainable
forestry practices:
- Use
less paper — only print out things on your computer that
you need to and try to alway use recycled paper or reused scrap
paper.
Remember that recycling your waste paper also saves trees.
- Buy
things with less packaging — many items today come wrapped
in unnecessary layers of paper and cardboard packaging.
- Remember
that a lot of the timber we use is imported from other countries
- buying recycled wood and paper products and buying timber from
certified sustainable suppliers ensures that you don't support unsustainable
forestry in these countries either.
