	Made of FSC Wood	Set up in 1993, the Forest Stewardship Council was established to maintain the responsible use of the worlds forest. Buying FSC wood ensures you buy from sustainable sources. Planting down a mature tree, and replacing it with a sapling isn't sustainable - several trees are therefore planted for each tree cut down. Buy FSC and protect the worlds forests.
