To
tackle this problem, we need to REDUCE, REUSE AND RECYCLE!

| In
Britain, we are among the largest consumers of industrial wood and paper in the
world. We import wood and its products from over 100 countries and only produce
15% of our own timber. We use 30 times the amount of the average person in
India. Thus our lifestyle here plays a significant part in the destruction of
the world’s forests. To
tackle this problem, we need to REDUCE, REUSE AND RECYCLE! |

Source materials that are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (If you see the FSC logo on timber, it means that the wood has come from well-managed sources and that consumers can buy it in the knowledge that they are not contributing to global forest loss).
