Presentation Summary:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Building material specifiers such as interior designers hold considerable power, and have enormous responsibility for making consequential decisions that affect our planet and its environment. This course will explain the environmental importance of sustainable forest management, forest certifications, chain-of-custody certifications, forestry carbon cycles, certified sustainable wood products, and how to spot greenwashing claims by some manufacturers. Specifiers and influencers are in a position to make a positive impact by aligning their values with those of sustainability – putting pressure on manufacturers, who in turn put pressure on lumber suppliers, who in turn put pressure on loggers and landowners to value sustainability and sustainable forests.<\/p>\n

After finishing this course, presented by CRAFT Artisan Wood Floors<\/a>, attendees will be able to make informed decisions when specifying wood products. In addition to learning how to spot greenwashing, attendees will gain a solid understanding of wood product certifications, and be able to have confidence when specifying wood products that their decisions will align with the values of sustainability and protection of the planet’s forest ecosystems.<\/p>\n
