Are you sleeping on illegal trees---trees from the Congo? Is your kitchen table made from wood, which has started social conflict in a distant African country? Are you literally flushing an ancient forest down the toilet? Check out our interactive Forest House to see exactly where your household goods come from and the forest-friendly alternatives. The Earth's ancient forests are unique, centuries old regions that support countless plant and animal species as well as native communities. But they are rapidly vanishing as the demand for wood and paper grows. In fact, only 20 percent of the world's ancient forests remain - a very scary statistic. Our comfy houses are contributing to the problem - in Europe, 50 percent of the tropical wood used in our furniture, doors and window frames is logged illegally, often from irresponsibly managed ancient forests. This wood often fuels corruption and social conflict and destroys the homes of endangered or undiscovered species. Our interactive Forest House is a room-by-room guide to wood in household products, featuring everything from flowerboxes to guitars. You can also learn exactly why wood is "good" or "bad" and print out our one-pager to stick on the fridge and check before you make that trip to IKEA. The Forest House also lets you search by product, so if you're on the lookout for a new hat stand or toilet seat, you'll know you should give teak a miss. In general, the safest wood is always Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified. This means that the wood is from a sustainable managed forest and that the rights of indigenous peoples are respected during the logging process. Some homeware stores such as IKEA and Home Depot have made commitments to only source FSC certified wood for their products. 查看更多

  As a Manchester United player, David Beckham is used to winning.He is one of the most famous Englishmen in the World today.

  Of course, it is impossible to have an unbiased opinion of this young man or the team that he plays for.If you are a Man United fan, you love him.If you aren't a fan of this team, then your opinion of Mr.Beckham may be quite different.In fact, in recent times, his treatment by fans of other teams has been extremely unsavory, especially when he has been playing for England.Some of the worst words have not even been aimed at Beckham but at his wife and young child, which is a bad thing.It has been hard for the football leaders to control such unruly behavior.How can you discipline people for their comments when so many people are guilty? But under the pressure of being shouted at by so many people, he has always remained calm.

Furthermore, to wear such things in unseasonable times as mid-winter seems even crazier!

  His behavior on the football pitch has also been unpredictable at times.Sometimes he is brilliant; sometimes he does crazy things.Some of the most famous footballing incidents involving Beckham are not his spectacular goals but his ungainly tackles.The most famous occasion was in France'98, when a clumsy tackle led to him being sent off.

  However, he is not guilty of such things, and if he can stop such behavior he could even become England's next captain.
