Everyday we use an amazing array of forest products. Forest products include more than just paper. Working together we can lessen the impact we have on the earth by eliminating the amount of paper we use.

Human beings have used forest products for thousands of years, and throughout history, cultures have struggled to obtain wood and manage forests. Today, more than ever, the world’s forests provide a treasure trove of valuable raw materials, from wood and paper to pharmaceuticals and food. The art and science of forest
management is constantly evolving.

We have learned more about forest management in the last 50 years than we learned in the previous 500 years.

However, as our population continues to grow and the demand for forest products increases, wise management and use of forest resources is all the more critical. Deforestation is one of the top recognized causes of the greenhouse affect. Plants and trees remove carbon from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. The decay and burning of wood release much of the carbon back into the atmosphere.

It's time for businesses to switch to digital and stop wasting trees on outdated practices.

Everyone can do something... just be mindful every time you use paper products.
