Ever Green

When you're building with lumber and you want to make sure that what you're buying is environmentally friendly, according to an article about Sierra Pacific Industries in SFGate (http://www.sfgate.com/green/article/Getting-clear-with-Sierra-Pacific-Industries-3292840.php):

"LOOK FOR LABELS

"Labels on lumber can tell you a lot about what you're buying. Here are some tips:
"-- Lumber from Sierra Pacific Industries (www.spi-ind.com) often has its logo on the wood and the logo of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (www.sfiprogram.org), a group directed by the timber and paper industry.
"-- Lumber sold by companies certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (www.fscus.org), an independent oversight group that ensures forest wood is harvested using safe environmental practices, also comes with a logo.
"-- ForestEthics (www.forestethics.org), a San Francisco environmental group, recommends that people buy lumber and wood products certified by the Forest Stewardship Council."
