The aim should be to make more people aware of the alternative option which is to start using more friendly to the environment wood such as plantation pine furniture. Although there are still some problems involved with plantation forests, it is a lot more preferable than large scale removal of huge chunks of the Earth’s rainforests.

There are ways to check whether the furniture you’re buying is made from plantation pine, in most cases there will be a label stating it. Alternatively you can ask where the wood came from. The more plantation wood we use, the less demand there will be for old-growth wood.
