Campaign
Sustainable Timber In Public Construction
In Switzerland a total of 223 communities with a total of about 2,300,000 inhabitants (~ 30% of the Swiss population) have decided to refrain from using wood from primary forests for public construction (as of Nov. 98). The joining cantons are Appenzell AR, Basel-Land, Basel-Stadt, Solothurn and Schwyz.
This is the present result of a campaign launched by the BMF in Switzerland on November 20th, 1997. When, a file in the four national languages has been mailed to all Swiss municipalities.
Please become active in your own home town.
For any detailed information please refer to our documentation in Deutsch,
Français, Italiano, Rumantsch.
