Billboards urge RV makers to stop sourcing wood from declining rainforest
Original source: WVPE

The environmental group Mighty Earth has placed billboards in Michiana urging RV manufacturers to stop using meranti wood from Borneo's rainforests. An August New York Times investigation linked this sourcing to deforestation and habitat loss for orangutans. The group advocates for a switch to Forest Stewardship Council-certified wood, which a researcher estimates could add only about $20 to an RV's cost.
