The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) was developed in 1993 to combat habitat destruction, water pollution, displacement of indigenous peoples and violence against people and wildlife that often accompanies logging.
When a tree-based product, such as paper, is labeled FSC-certified, it verifies that it comes from a forest with the highest social and environmental standards. By supporting and purchasing these products we are helping to sustain our forests and to prevent future damage to the delicate eco-systems that are affected by the logging industry around the world.
Various retailers, such as The Home Depot, Lowes and Kinko’s regularly stock FSC products.
For printing needs there are various FSC-certified printers on the island of Oahu that can print a job using the FSC logo. When this logo is printed on a brochure, for example, it verifies that it went through the entire FSC chain-of-custody. So everything is FSC-certified from the forest that the paper came from to the printer where the brochure was printed.
