FSC Research

Dear Year 10,

As a follow up to the video you watched on sustainable forestry you will need to consolidate your knowledge of this issue and the role of the FSC. 

Go to www.fsc.org and answer the following questions in your own words in your books.

1. What does FSC stand for?
2. What does the FSC do?
3. Why is their work important?
4. Sketch the FSC logo –discuss the symbols you can see and their meaning in relation to the council.
5. Why is it important for the FSC to have strong branding with their logo?
6. What principles does the FSC use when assessing and certifying forestry operations? (hint: look in the FSC fact sheets)
7. Why is it important for designers to be aware of ethical and sustainability issues such as sustainable forestry?
8. How does this new awareness affect your choices as a designer?
