The article:
"A major gap in the sustainable wood industry was filled
when, for the first time in the U.S., a Minnesota logger’s
cooperative received certification from an international
certification body. The certification paves the way for
much greater volume of certified wood to be delivered to
companies seeking it.
The certification came from the SmartWood program of
the Rainforest Alliance, which is accredited to certify
under the Forest Stewardship Council’s (FSC)
standards of ecologically sound forestry. FSC
certification provides assurance that the forestry being
practiced meets the highest available economic, social,
and environmental standards of good forestry. Forest
products from certified forests are marketed worldwide
using the FSC trademark."

development of Mountain Timber Wood Products in the

Current Emission Levels in the United States
  • Emissions of greenhouse gases from human activity in the United States
    in 2001 totaled 6,936 billion tons. In the same year, the natural cycles that
    regulate these gases were able to absorb 838 billion tons . This left 6,098
    extra billion tons to remain in the air. This unsustainable amount of
    emissions represented a slight increase over previous years, and
    emissions are estimated to have increased even more in recent years.
    The U.S. Produces more greenhouse gas emissions per person than any
    other country.
