Start with the news release PEFC and MTC share the knowledge at Timber Expo from PEFC UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "PEFC is partnering with Malaysian Timber Council (MTC) to discuss the supply of tropical timber and explaining why Malaysian timber increasingly popular in the UK market.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release UN say radon in buildings should be reduced from Cavity Trays: "Radon presence within buildings should be reduced to a lower level, as radon is more dangerous to health than first thought and there is 'no safe level'.".
 
In September 2011, we covered the news from John Brash & Co - take a look at John Brash shingles for Velux zero carbon homes which says: "Western Red Cedar shingles from John Brash have been specified for the external envelope of two pioneering zero carbon homes in Kettering as part of Velux's Model Home 2020 project.".
