If you would like to chat with me about environmental impacts of board gaming please reach out and send me an email. I'd love to hear from you.
So nice to see your videos about how to make more sustainable board games! Good work!
I would like be a bummer, at least in Sweden, FSC arent viewed as a "sustainable" license. Wood from forests that have been clear cut can get the FSC-mark here. Really sad :/ But it´s the best we got at the point, and hopefully it will get better in the future!
Keep up the good work!
That's good to know, thank you! Its a imperfect system but perhaps with more attention on it, they will raise their standards? I don't know I really hope things change for the better. Thanks for your support!
It is better than no certificate at all of course. And, there has been alot of talking about the forestry I'm Sweden, that it is below any grade of decency. So maybe it's generally better in other places around the world?
I've been looking into using FSC certified material for my book, and for some manufactures the price doesn't change for it. Others don't even have the option. But it seems like if publishers ask for it, they should be able to push for it being used more!
Thats great you are looking into it! Hope it works out you can get it :)
@@onepipwonder915 yeah, I hope so! But there might be a difference between people saying they can use FSC certified material and actually being registered and able to use the logo. 😕
@@ambierona oh I know! It can be very confusing! Being FSC certified is pretty different than just using a FSC certified paper. I still don't totally upstand what happened when a facility is certified and what that all entails. I wish there was a FSC for dummies lol
@@onepipwonder915 yeah I’ve been reading the FSC site this morning and it’s so confusing! I’m not sure if I’ll be able to use the logo at this point because it looks like the printers I’ve found might not be certified, and the whole chain needs to be certified.
I saw a game called Lord of the Bins sold on Amazon which is about trash segregation and thought of your channel! It has plastic components though. It doesn’t say FSC but says “made with recycled materials”.
Interesting video! I looked through my jigsaw puzzles and found just one with FSC on the box--it's a pic of animals and made by Smith Street Gift, Melbourne, Australia. My Prismacolor colored pencils box says "Does Not Contain Rainforest Wood," so at least there's that much. My Puffs tissues box says FSC, but the t.p. just says "Sustainable Forestry Initiation." Any idea how that compares to FSC?
I am not sure how they compare, but FSC is the most strict. It's good to see who is doing what. I just found FSC on my kids Lego box packaging too, didn't expect that!
