Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification
Hey kiddo! Have you heard of forests? They are big places where lots of trees grow and lots of animals live. People sometimes cut down trees in forests to use them for things like making paper or building houses. But sometimes, they cut down too many trees and that can be bad for the forests and the animals living there.
That's where the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) comes in. It's like a big club for companies and organizations that use wood from forests. They want to make sure that the wood they use comes from forests that are being managed in a good way, so that they don't harm the environment or the animals that live there.
The PEFC makes sure that these forests have rules in place to protect the environment and the animals. They also check to make sure that the trees being cut down will grow back and that the people working in the forest are treated fairly. If a forest meets all of these criteria, then it can be certified by the PEFC.
So when you see a product that has the PEFC logo on it, it means that the wood used to make that product comes from a forest that is being managed in a good way. You can feel good about buying that product knowing that it didn't harm the environment or the animals that live in the forest. Pretty cool, huh?
