Educating the public on purchasing eco-friendly forest products

When you look at a large hillside that has been recently logged does that make you happy or sad? If it saddens you it might be time to re-educate yourself with the help of environmental organizations, wood lot owners, wood workers, custom sawyers and wood product dealers. We can all complain but do nothing to change how things are done. Or we can take a stand on how things are implemented and achieved in regards to wood coming out of the bush and produced into products. We can allow over-cutting or we can say enough; we can choose to take only what is needed, making sure the products we purchase are from a source that logs, recovers or creates products in an eco friendly manner. Or we can sit idly by and do nothing. If we choose not to change, then we have no one to blame but ourselves for some of the environmental damage that has been created. If we are truly unhappy with how things are achieved or done in society then we must stop buying the products from the companies or individuals that are not living or working in an eco-friendly manner. When I look at the large stores selling wood products I see a whole lot of people with not much of a purchasing choice in front of them. Corkboot.com wants to help re-educate the public with the help of others to show individuals and companies how to buy eco-friendly wood, calculate product cost, do cost comparisons and send wood to the appropriate wood manufacturer to construct their needed product. Our question and answer section has been designed specifically for this task when the site comes up. If you don't know how to navigate through the system, don't bypass this opportunity - just ask! Give Corkboot.com a chance. Have fun - be creative - place an add for free on our market place when it opens in a couple of weeks. Explain what you are looking for and allow the eco-friendly dealers to call you. Let them try and meet your budget and needs and leave the add running until someone contacts you - it won't take long!

Remember - take a tree, not a forest!
