The Green Burial Council is the standard-bearer for truth and transparency in death care.

Does the SFI EcoLabel Approve Forest Destruction?

Posted March 25, 2013 in PosiPlanet

I recently attended Eugene, Oregon's famous environmental law conference. In the entryway on the bottom floor of the building where the conference sessions were being held, there were a series of environmental organizational tables including TarSands Blockade, which is using non-violent direct action to stop the construction of KeyStone XL, and Forest Ethics, a national non-profit working to protect our forests. A giant banner hanging above the Forest Ethics table caught my eye. It said, "SFI: Certified Greenwash".

or non-profit organization

A community-led transition to the new economy. We're way beyond green.

The Green Dot, or Grüne Punkt, on an item of packaging means that it complies with the German Packaging Ordinance for the return of consumer packaging. The symbol can, in fact, be in any color other than red. It is administered by Duales System Deutschland GmbH, a non-profit organization which was established to enable manufacturers and distributors to fulfill the requirements of the legislation. This shows that a fee has been paid for the recovery of the packaging in some European countries.
