Name: Richard Groves on Mar 16, 2010Comments: I have managed lands under all three systems(FSC,SFI and CSA). I presently manage lands under both SFI and FSC. Each one has its strengths and weakness and I would say no one system is better or worse and all move the yardsticks on managing our lands in a sustainable Therefore all should be acceptable and recognized under the Leed rating systemFlag

Name: Kevin Koertje on Mar 16, 2010Comments: I believe it is important to have multiple certification standards, based on strong scientific principles. That allows the certification organizations to compete and continually improve the forestry and logging standards that are required to make sure that forests are managed in a sustainable manner.Flag

Name: Linda S. Casey on Mar 16, 2010Comments: Multiple certifications programs that are credible, such as SFI, ATFS, CSA and PEFC should not be excluded from LEED. I have experience with all of the above certification systems and have seen how these programs encourage sustainability of North American forests.Flag

Name: Janet McCarthy Grimm on Mar 16, 2010Comments: With only 10% of the global forests certified to ANY third-party audited standard, why in the world would the US Green Build Council NOT recognize the value and merit of all meaningful standards? To offer such preference sets an exclusive precedence that makes FSC fiber unrealistically dear.Flag
-
127
Name: Mark Junkins on Mar 16, 2010Comments: for LEED to specify only FSC lumber means that here in the South, where SFI lumber is readily available, lumber is often trucked long distances to meet the LEED requirement, which negates any advantages of well managed forests.Flag

Name: Roland Dufour on Mar 16, 2010Comments: The reason for a certification should be to guaranty the sustainability of our forests and not to benefit any of the environmental groups. Most certification programs now in places are as good one another and should be accepted by LEED.Flag

Name: Brian Sugden on Mar 16, 2010Comments: The SFI Standard provides an excellent framework for landowners to demonstrate forest sustainability. Lands near my home managed under SFI contain healthy populations of trout and big game, and are extensively used by the public for a diversity of recreation. A home constructed from locally-sourced SFI-certified wood is much better for the environment than certified wood that must be shipped half-way around the world!Flag

Name: Jeremy Kessinger on Mar 16, 2010Comments: I urge the Green Building Council to open the LEED rating system to independent and credible forest certification system. USGBC should not promote one standard over the other. There are always more ways to look at certification than a single standard. One size does not fit all.Flag

Name: Suzanne Hearn on Mar 16, 2010Comments: How can it make sense environmentally to endorse sourcing products offshore when the same or better materials are available in US Forests from forests grown under cetification standards that are recognized internationally? Keep US Forests healthy and productive, support US rural communities, recognize that tens of thousands of family foresters who make their livelihoods from forestry have done the right thing for the environment for a long time. The USGBC should do the right thing and recognize all credible forest certification standards: SFI, ATFS, CSA, FSC, and PEFC - the rest of the world does!Flag

Name: Paul Robbertz on Mar 16, 2010Comments: I strongly urge the USGBC to expand the rating system to wood and paper products certified to independent, respected and credible standards, including the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI), American Tree Farm System (ATFS), Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). These organizations are recognized and well respected. We need to take advantage of all these organizations and level the playing field. Only relying on FSC does not provide a competitive business environment or allow supliers to take advantge of products certified under these other organizations. I also believe LEED has a credibility issue by excluding other certifcation organizations. Paul Robbertz VP, EHS Pitney Bowes Inc.Flag

Name: John F. Godbe, Jr. on Mar 16, 2010Comments: It does not make good environmental or economic sense to give preference to FSC certified wood flooring products made from exotic non native hardwoods grown 5000 miles from a home or office site over local native pine and hardwood products from well managed forests that are certified under the American Tree Farm or Sustainable Forestry Initiative Standards. The retoric of environmental superiority of FSC over these other systems is simply not supported by the facts.Flag
