Certifiably Insane? Wood-labeling program less green than it appears	Jeff Shaw	23 Feb 2004	Main Dish
If you've got plans to undertake a woodworking project -- building a deck, say, or a fancy new china cabinet -- you're probably not going to figure a plane ticket to Burma or Humboldt County, Calif., into the budget, even if you'd like to be sure that the wood you'll use has been harvested sustainably.
