Mike Draper, Chairman of the Forest Products Industry National Labor Management Committee, outlines, in an op-ed appearing in today’s The Hill, why forest product jobs are “green.” The bottom line:
America’s private forest owners, manufacturers, and the products they produce are green – they are renewable, sustainable, recyclable, and help solve some of our more pressing environmental concerns. In fact, forest management and forest products were “green” long before the term was coined, and the jobs they create should be recognized as such.
