Does the SFI EcoLabel Approve Forest Destruction?
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".

Featured Certification
This Italian certification is used to indentify detergents that are environmentally friendly and avoid skin irritations and allergies. The brand AIAB certifies an environmentally friendly product, but also its cleaning performance and respect for the person within a strict discipline that requires rigorous cleaning and dermatological tests conducted by independent bodies to ensure the consumer. The certification also ensures that the raw materials used in the formulation have been individually approved and that, as can be found on the market come from organic farms.
