The war over wood product certification labels may be raging among forestry and green building advocates, but the White House is trying to steer clear of the controversy in staging its annual Easter Egg Roll.

The day-long event, which is being held Monday (yes, the day after Easter and three days after Earth Day), will feature souvenir wooden eggs that were made from hardwood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, according to the White House.

The pastel-colored eggs, which are stamped with the signatures of the president and First Lady Michelle Obama, come in paperboard packaging that is certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative, says the National Park Foundation, which is selling the wooden eggs.

The rival FSC and SFI labels are at the center of a longstanding feud among advocates who are sharply divided about whether one certification standard should prevail.

The National Park Foundation, which produced the wooden eggs, had 83,000 made for sales (at $7.50 a pop and $26.50 for a four-pack) and as free souvenirs for children under 12 who attend Monday's event. Dyed, hard-boiled eggs -- about 14,500 of them -- will be used for the actual egg roll and egg hunt.

In addition to the certified wood products, event organizers chose recyclable goody bags that are made from recycled content and arranged for 90 recycling bins (and an equal number of trash receptacles) to placed on the South Lawn and Ellipse at the White House.

Thirty-thousand people are expected at the 133rd White House Easter Egg Roll, which carries a healthy activity theme of "Get Up and Go!" this year and will run for almost 12 hours with celebrity-led sports training, exercise sessions, games, music and other entertainment.
