Beijing Must Curb Use of Illegally Logged Timber, Forestry Official Says

Fri, 02 May 2008 11:17:30 -0400

China's government must tighten its policies on buying illegally logged timber to set a good example for Chinese companies that largely use wood from unsustainable sources, a government forestry official said Wednesday.

Only 0.3 percent of Chinese forests, or about 1.48 million acres, are certified as sustainable according to international standards, said Lu Wenming, chief of international cooperation at the Chinese Academy of Forestry. Additionally, only 501 Chinese companies purchase their timber from internationally certified sources...

Merrill Lynch's Carbon Bet: Why a Wall Street Firm Wants to Save Forests in Sumatra

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 17:56:39 -0400

The business of "carbon farming" is growing fast -- and Merrill Lynch is the latest big company to bet that it will become profitable.

What's carbon farming, you ask? It's a business designed to recognize the value created when trees store carbon dioxide and prevent global warming. So people who plant new trees or prevent existing trees from destruction can get paid for doing so.

That doesn't mean that the tree in your backyard or mine will help pay college tuition or fund a 401(k). For now, the payments are going to villagers in the developing world who agree to protect ...

Rainforest Alliance Finds Sustainably Certified Forests Have Fewer Wildfires

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 12:42:18 -0400

We'd like to offer you some of the valuable Sustainability-related domains collected over the years.

The three finger Sustainability Symbol is beginning to attract attention on and off the internet. This is a double-edged sword.

On one hand, more and more people are learning about the campaign (personally passing it along from one individual to another),

on the other hand, our website stinks.

It’s homemade, and as you will see, I’m no web designer!
