Supplying the Demand for a Livable Planet
So much of what we eat on a day to day basis, as well as lumber, rubber, minerals and other commodities, comes from developing countries overseas. We never see the results of harvesting all these natural resources, but often other nation’s forests are clear-cut and rivers are polluted as the direct result of our overconsumption. Fortunately groups like the Forest Stewardship Council and Rainforest Alliance are making efforts to ensure we use natural resources in the developing world just as responsibly as we would expect here at home.
