Abstract

"This new research reveals FSC paper products are far more environmentally-harmful than FSC would like people to believe. With FSC products containing red lauan (shorea) among the world's most critically endangered tropical species FSC is hardly a practitioner of responsible environmental stewardship. 'Big Green', in promoting FSC, has been selling the American people a bag of coal. CORE calls upon Greenpeace, Forest Ethics and Rainforest Action Network to urge FSC to investigate these claims instead of hailing it as a savior of the world's forests," said Niger Innis, spokesman of the Congress of Racial Equality and author of the new report. "'Big Green' goes a long way to pressure governments, companies and consumers that it's the FSC-way or the highway. According to their logic, if you don't switch to FSC, you might as well be killing tigers in your front yard. Well, this logic is a myth, just like the myth that FSC helps the world's poor."
