The Amazon: The Brazilian government through Ibama (Brazilian Ministry of the Environment's enforcement agency) works to combat rain forest destruction and affords some protection of the forests Brazilian Hardwood trees inhabit.  Brazilian hardwoods have value and the Brazilian Government, understanding the global demand allows dead and dying trees to be harvested.  This protection of Hardwoods helps protect valuable forests that might otherwise be cleared to create room for ethanol production.  Land clearing is an unintended consequence of the world's recent demand for alternative fuel (Time Mar 27,2008 The Clean Energy Scam).  Ibama, an arm of the Brazilian government, requires Certificates of Forest Origin for all Brazilian lumber brought to market or transported in any way (NY Times Mar 3, 2008: Brazil Government seizes illegal wood).  Ibama also adheres strictly to the guidelines for protection of foliage and fauna in the international CITES Treaty.  For a detailed discussion of various organizations see Green Choice
 


 
RealWood ™ certifies their Go Natural deck wood to be exactly as described.  For example, RealIpe ™ is Ipe decking and lumber certified by RealWood ™, imported direct from Brazil.   RealJatoba ™, show below insures you are buying Jatoba. Every board is labeled with its species so you are assured of what you are getting. 


 
  GoNatural 's RealWood products are manufactured from a fully renewable resource:   Substitutes like wood plastic composites are manufactured from materials extracted from the earth, once removed, they can never be replaced. And, when composite products age beyond their useful life, they become part of landfills. As a natural product, wood is fully biodegradable.

Wood is a recyclable building material, it is reusable and biodegradable.  RealWood ™ decking products are derived from a renewable resource. It grows from the earth, is harvested, manufactured and used for decades or even centuries. Then, when its useful life span is ended, it returns to the earth.

Composites are made from fossil fuels and they require more energy to produce than Brazilian Hardwoods.  Composite useful life is short compared to Brazilian Hardwood, and its end is in a landfill
 

No Chemicals: Brazilian RealWood ™’s hardness means that no chemical treatment is needed. The arsenic and copper compounds used to preserve other wood products can pose a serious health threat. In every sense Brazilian Hardwood is one of the safest choices for any deck.

GoNatural ™ and RealWood ™ only buy from certified mills.  We strive to insure we do not buy any gray market or black market Brazilian Hardwoods.  RealWood ™ only buys from mills certified by the Brazilian government to harvest wood responsibly from managed forests to provide a truly renewable resource.  Go Natural! Green Harvest has more information.

Go Natural: Wood's natural life cycle explains why RealWood ™ deck and decking products are the environmentally sound choice when compared with alternative materials like plastic or plastic composites. Only wood comes from a renewable, biodegradable resource.  Composites come from materials extracted from the earth. Once removed, they can never be replaced. Plastics are derived from dwindling petroleum reserves.
