Synopsis

From recycled products to organic food, the movement to be "environmentally friendly" is now expanding into the forestry field. Recognizing this impact, Home Depot has committed to giving preference to selling "certified wood," proven to come from forests that meet certain biological and social sustainablility standards. Retailers and vendors can offer certified wood through the international Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and FSC accredited organizations like SmartWood, recently featured in People magazine.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Walter Smith is a mostly retired scientist living with his wife, Fran, in Wellington, Florida and New Canaan, Connecticut. The Year that Didn't Exist is his third publication, his second featuring the mostly fictional Walter Stafford, introduced in The Walter Integral.

Fran and Walter both enjoy horses, small dogs, children, only sometimes, grandchildren, avoiding deadly and annoying viruses, and not travelling by plane, boat, train or any form of transportation requiring more than a horse, car or your feet.

Fran and Walter met and married while they were at the Tute, aka Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, in Troy, NY in the early 1970s.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

From recycled products to organic food, "environmentally friendly" is moving into the mainstream, including the forest industry. Retailers such as Home Depot have revised their purchasing and selling policies to give preference to certified wood. Forest Certification in Sustainable Development highlights the history, importance, and rewards of forest certification. The book discusses the issues involved in mainstream forestry as it is currently practiced, and what can be done to create sustainable forestry. The authors provide, step-by-step, the certification process as practiced by the Rainforest Alliance's SmartWood.
