“FSC offers consumers a way to protect the world’s forests, even as they use forest products every day,” said Chris McLaren, Chief Marketing Officer of FSC US. “The new OneSimpleAction.org creates a powerful and conve- nient way for consumers – and the companies supplying the products they use – to make a big difference.” Consumers can shop hundreds of products from popu- lar brands and retailers, such as Charmin, House of Marley, HP, REI, Scott and Target. Products represent all the major forest products categories – Construction, Furniture, Pack- aging, Printing, Textiles and Clothing, and Tissue and Hy- giene Paper – as well as a range of additional categories, such as Footwear. The products include those curated for the Amazon Climate Pledge Friendly program, in which FSC is the only forest-based certification recognized. The site also provides information about how consum- er purchases of FSC-certified products can protect forests, including a video featuring Allen Morgan, a family forest owner in Arkansas who says FSC provides consumers with the assurance, “that my little corner of the Earth, I’m taking care of it.” OneSimpleAction.org also serves as a lens through which consumers can discover brands’ sustainability prog- ress and commitments. Whether the company is a retail- er, manufacturer or user (e.g., for product packaging), the new site offers the opportunity to favor brands that are leading on sustainability. OneSimpleAction.org was made possible by its founding sponsor, HP, Inc.
