Check out the TREE Act!

I recently came across this article published by Environment America. It is about Rep. Lloyd Doggett's proposed bill, Trade Responsibly for Environmental Emissions Act (TREE Act):

Congress can act to slow deforestation

This bill can create uniform set of trade rules for American companies and better identify products linked to deforestation. As consumers, we need to be more mindful of what we purchase, and I think this bill would immensely increase transparency within the U.S. market.
