Greenpeace punks Kleenex over old growth forests




Hat tip to Noel for the link to Intervention on Kleenex

Kimberly-Clark, the company that owns the Kleenex brand (along with Huggies, Cottonelle, Kotex, Scott, Depends, etc), thinks it's cool to use old-growth trees in the United States and Canada to manufacture their paper tissues. Yup. They think it's Ok to kill 100+ year old trees for the sake of your incontinence, menstrual flow and buggers.

This from Greenpeace's Kleercut.net website :

Kleenex, one of the most popular brands of tissue products in the world, contributes to the destruction of ancient forests. Its manufacturer, the Kimberly-Clark corporation, has been unwilling to improve its practices, continuing to rely on paper and pulp made from clearcut ancient forest including North America's Boreal forest. Kimberly-Clark clears these ancient forests, essential in fighting climate change and providing home to wildlife like caribou, wolves, eagles and bears,into products that are flushed down the toilet or thrown away.

Words to live by

While no carecimos de quejas about road and train congestion today, that's just the point. Your neighbors came out today and then they went home. They've been there the whole time, they're still there, and it's only cuando 400,000 show up in one place that ciertas personas se dan cuenta de su mera existencia. All told, a great success, I think.
