FSC The make of responsible forestry

FSC: By buying FSC certified Kleenex® tissues you are helping to protect the world's forests. How? FSC stands for the Forestry Stewardship Council, it ensures that forests all over the world are managed responsibly, considering the environment, the wildlife and the local people who live and work in the area.
