Jimmy and the Environment ...

 

The message is simple… ‘Wood is Good!’

At JIMMY POSSUM we believe that being eco-effective is not an option – it is a necessity. Currently there are many environmental initiatives in operation at JIMMY POSSUM, in both our production base and in our retail stores. In the long term, JIMMY POSSUM has committed to have a positive environmental impact by 2019. We hope you are just as excited about the JIMMY GOING GREEN strategy as we are!

DID YOU KNOW???

We all know that wood comes from trees.  However, 50% of Australians surveyed recently didn’t realise that wood is good for the environment, and that wood stores carbon.

 

 

JIMMY POSSUM has, from its inception 13 years ago, used Victorian native hardwood, and has always sourced superior quality, ‘boutique’ timber.  None of the wood used by JIMMY POSSUM is imported tropical timbers which, it is widely believed, may be sourced from illegally logged Asian rainforests.

 

 

As a natural resource the supply of wood is carefully managed and monitored under regulatory frameworks both at State and Federal Government levels.

 

 

Australian commercial forests and the products they produce are helping to offset Australia's total yearly greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 10%.
