FSC Vs. SFI
Forest Stewardship Council
FSC
* Protects biodiversity and endangered species

* Bans genetically modified trees (no GMO)

The question of from whom and where to source sustainable building products is rapidly becoming more and more of a hot topic. As we continue to witness rapid increases in the destruction of our primary forests we as builders are left with decisions that will affect the very future of our planetary health!
