25 Countries prepare to celebrate FSC Friday this week
At the end of this week the FSC celebrate FSC Friday, where across the country and around the world a vast range of people will be promoting the FSC system and responsible forestry. Have a look at the map to see what’s going on around the world.
There are currently 25 countries involved, and within those countries there are businesses and schools who will be getting involved. In the UK alone we have 26 businesses, 39 schools and a variety of other scout groups, libraries and councils doing events. You can have a look at the full UK map here.
Many of these events are internal, raising awareness amongst staff and customers for businesses and teaching children about forests and forest management for schools.
As an individual there are also ways to get involved with FSC Friday if you are not a member of a group already holding a promotion:
• Use one of our banners on your social media profile on FSC Friday to raise awareness.
• Tweet a picture of an FSC product you find in the shops or at home – look for the logo and you’ll be surprised at the range of products come from forests – from rubber gloves to footballs to paper and cards! We’ll retweet the best.
• Dress in green for the day.
• Tell a friend about the FSC and why it’s important to support responsible forestry. Word of mouth is important.
• Visit an FSC certified forest.
As the week goes on we’ll be sharing stories and photos from other countries and from around the UK as events unfold. Make sure you keep up to date with the website and the social media accounts.
Finally, why not use the opportunity of autumn around the corner to visit an FSC certified forest and take photos, which you could enter into our photo competition.
