Overview
PlanetFriendlyCanada.com is sponsored by a group of Canadian forest industry
partners who are dedicated to
sustainability.
Together, they work hard to deliver the most accurate and current information on using forest products in buildings. Planet Friendly Canada is committed to providing the resources necessary to educate businesses and consumers alike about the benefits of building with wood!This portal serves as an information hub that shows how using legally harvested forest products in buildings reduces greenhouse gases and helps fight climate change. People in the forest industry recognize the importance of Canada's forests; that is why forests are promptly regenerated after harvesting. And that is why scrutiny on how forests are managed is welcome.
Wood has been a part of our culture throughout time, and for good reason. Wood is an ingenious invention of nature. It is beautiful, light and strong to build with, and warm and welcoming to live with. It is the only major building material that is truly renewable - and it is plentiful in Canada!
As concern about climate change grows, more building and design professionals are helping to solve a new problem with an old favourite. When wood replaces other materials, greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts are reduced.
In Canada, we appreciate and value our vast forests - and manage them sustainably. We are committed to reducing waste and to recycling. Canadian wood products offer outstanding versatility and value both as a building material and as an environmental choice.
Canadian wood. Renewable by nature. Sustainable by design.
