> Is it really "ridiculous" to not use endangered tropical woods

Let's say that I buy an antique desk. I might have an endangered tropical hardwood, but it was cut LONG before the law even existed!

Or what if I buy reclaimed teak from an old steamship deck and turn that into a lovely couch. It was harvested 150 years ago, perhaps even before the US civil war. But I wouldn't be able to certify, would I? How is that reasonable?

The point isn't that it's crazy to expect people to behave like good citizens, it's that there are a ton of corner cases that the requirements don't address because they were written as "feel good" not as "this is actually good"
