1.6 billion people rely on forests for there food, clothing, and shelter.
Some of the worlds most endangered species live in forests.
Deforestation is the second leading cause of pollution causing 20 percent of greenhouse emissions.
FSC helps create demand for wood from sustainable forests. During the last 20 years FSC has become known as the leading forest certifications system.
Credibility FSC is an independent environmental group that focuses on keeping forests healthy for future generations. Anyone who is a member of FSC is committed to responsible forest and wood management.
Environmental Protection Not only does FSC help protect trees but it also is protecting natural water sources, and preventing over cutting of forests and old forests. FSC bans use of chemicals that are used on trees that can be harmful to ground water.

All of this and more is based on those who are members of the American Forest and Paper Association or otherwise known as the AF&PA. These people have are well-known for achieving a lot when it comes to sustainability and they have several of these records still to this day. These efforts that are led by the industry are how we as the people are helping to protect our environment by preserving as well as growing the contribution to this industry that are economical such as the businesses and the employees well-being that are a part of the industry.
Since the year of 2009 the rate of paper recovery for recycling has been more than 63% each and every single year including a 65.4% in the year of 2014.
The success from the paper industry with recycling is what has helped pave the way for all of the other efforts in the U.S. with recycling.
An example of this success to consider is from the year of 2010; according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the EPA, 62.5 percent of paper was recovered for recycling that was used while only 19.9percent of the aluminum was and 27.1 percent of glass was and 8.2 percent of all plastics.
All forms of recycling are good and highly encouraged; the more that people do it than the more that it gets done and the more that it gets done than the better our earth and environment become. Thanks to the forest and the paper industries paper recycling has gone way up and while this should still continue to get higher all other forms of recycling should be getting higher as well.
