We’re aiming to increase awareness of FSC so that more people choose FSC certified products more of the time. These choices can be personal, like choosing garden furniture, greeting cards or even toilet paper. Choosing FSC can also be great for the workplace; does your office have a policy to only buy FSC certified wood and paper for the office? If not, why not?
Hundreds of different organizations around the world will be hosting events for FSC Friday, ranging from internal events to raise awareness among staff, to public events such as tree planting with local schools and posting articles and banners on websites and social media.
Let’s rock the social media world with a Thunderclap message about responsible forestry & FSC. Sign up using your Facebook or Twitter account adding your voice to encourage responsible forestry. Your post or tweet, along with many others, will simultaneously go live on September 25th at 12pm EST/1pm PST. A simple message can go a long way. Sign up today.
You can take part in the celebrations by having an event at your workplace, school or with your friends. Visit the FSC Friday website to get ideas for suggestions on how to get involved. Remember to take photos of your event and share them with us through social media (Facebook or Twitter) or by email and let us know how you celebrated.
If you need help with ideas, let us know. Contact Monika Patel, Director of Programs & Communications at m.patel@ca.fsc.org
