Avoid buying wooden products unless recycled and possible alternates to them

Most people buy wooden products while ignoring the fact that they came from cut down trees. These products vary from wooden toys to furniture. At many times people don't have to buy these. You can survive without them.

Unless the wooden item shows it is from recycled wood, then don't buy it. You are strongly encouraged to buy a metallic or plastic equivalent of the wooden product(s) you intended to buy.

Below are some examples of the non-wooden items I recommend:
