Sustainable Forests
On Beyond Organic Radio
September 13, 2005 — By Icicle Networks
Every year, a single American consumer uses the equivalent of a tree
measuring 100 feet high and 16 inches in diameter. That's nearly 300
million trees a year to give us paper, shelter and furniture.
Worldwide, 50 acres of forest land are cleared every minute
causing loss of precious wildlife habitat and massive erosion that will
continue to affect our world for long after our own lifetimes.
One small but growing effort to combat this involves certifying
sustainable forestry practices that ensure forests are planted and
protected, not just cut down.
Join host Jerry Kay, publisher of the Environmental News Network, as we
hear what three experts have said about how forests are certified and
how certified wood is turned into the products we use every day.
The Beyond Organic one-hour radio show airs every Wednesday at 10 a.m.
