All wood is an environmentally responsible choice because it is a 100 percent renewable resource. However, our wood is grown and harvested sustainably in the United States, under some of the most stringent environmental laws in the world. In addition, we offer FSC-certified flooring for those who desire it. When you choose a forest product grown in the United States, you support wood as a commodity and ensure that it will continue to be grown and harvested sustainably. You provide the incentive for local landowners to keep their land in forest, helping to absorb greenhouse gases and clean and filter our air. There are other renewable floor choices out there, such as bamboo. But unlike bamboo, which is grown in monoculture, trees grow in forests—complex ecosystems with greater contributions to biodiversity, soil, water, and air quality.
