Environmental auditing is not what it seems

You and I might care about sustainable forestry and check that any product made from the trees of this world are carefully sourced to protect ancient and rare trees.

Auditors who assist in green labelling are part of a multi billion dollar industry. But are they really helping us protect this planet? Perhaps they may be assisting criminals to conceal their ill gotten timber under green labelling to avoid prosecution?

About borderslynn

Retired, living in the Scottish Borders after living most of my life in cities in England. I can now indulge my interest in all aspects of living close to nature in a wild landscape. I live on what was once the Iapetus Ocean which took millions of years to travel from the Southern Hemisphere to here in the Northern Hemisphere. That set me thinking and questioning and seeking answers. In 1998 I co-wrote Millennium Countdown (US)/ A Business Guide to the Year 2000 (UK) see https://www.abebooks.co.uk/products/isbn/9780749427917
