Considering building or renovating a home? Consider this move toward sustainability and environmental consciousness:

In November, Canada’s largest home improvement chain RONA announced a new procurement policy for wood products that Will help conserve Canada’s forests. The policy, which sets targets for selling Forest Stewardship Council certified lumber and restricts wood from forests of high conservation value, was developed over the period of a year as RONA worked closely with Greenpeace forest campaigners. A number of companies are now developing new procurement policies to help preserve forests. RONA policy is the strongest procurement policy for wood products in North America and is a challenge to its competitors. For more information click here: Greenpeace
