I just learned about The Good Wood Guide, a site that helps you make the best choice when buying or using wood for your next project. It's a UK-based website but applies internationally.

Good Wood Guide Checklist (http://www.foe.co.uk/campaigns/biodiversity/resource/good_wood_guide/wood_timber_buying_guide.html)

Step 1

Repair, restore or adapt something you already have. You may need professional help but it could still be cheaper than something new and it's far better for the world's forests.

Step 2

Buy secondhand, recycled, reclaimed or waste timber. A better environmental choice than buying new.

Step 3

Buy locally produced timber products that are Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified. If you can't recycle, buying locally-produced timber products means less fossil fuel is used in transportation. All FSC certified wood carries the FSC logo.
More on FSC at http://www.fsc.org/en/about

Step 4

Buy FSC certified products from farther afield. If there is no timber available from a locally certified forest, the FSC logo is always preferable.
