Perhaps you’ve seen it on a box of tissues, package of toilet paper or roll of paper towels – a small symbol containing the familiar outline of a tree, a check mark and three letters: FSC.
This logo belongs to the Forest Stewardship Council, an independent, non-government organization whose purpose is to promote responsible management of the world’s forests. The symbol lets people know a particular paper product comes from sustainably managed sources, and when consumers choose FSC–labeled products, it sends a message to manufacturers that there is demand for more environmentally friendly products.
