- Identifying which products probably come from endangered forests.
- Phasing out of endangered forest products.
- Phasing in ecologically preferable alternative products.
- An increase in wood fiber efficiency and reduced consumption of wood and paper products.

Printers beware. This organization will not be happy until we no longer use paper to print on. Look at the web site and see for yourself.

We need to be careful when partnering with groups who would do away with print all together.
