I know mom said don't wipe your nose on your sleeve, but...

It beats the hell out of supporting Kleenex! Go to the website to write a letter and learn more about the campaign against Kimberly-Clark.

CorpWatch: Greenpeace: Stop Kimberly-Clark/Kleenex from Wiping Away Ancient Forests: "Kimberly-Clark is the largest manufacturer of tissue products in the world and owns the brand names Kleenex, Scot, Viva, and Cottonelle. It is a highly profitable company raking in 1.7 billion dollars in profits last year. Unfortunately much of its profits are based on turning ancient forests into disposable paper products that consumers use once and then throw away or flush down the toilet. Kimberly-Clark is also one of the least progressive tissue product manufacturers continuing to rely on massive amounts of virgin fibre to produce its products - it uses over 2.5 million tonnes of virgin tree pulp each year and less than 19% of its fibre in North America comes from recycled sources. The industry average for recycled fibre use is 60%. and major and minor competitors of K-C have taken very progressive steps to become more sustainable.

In November, Greenpeace Canada and the Natural Resources Defence Council (NRDC) launched a US/Canada public campaign against Kimberly-Clark in an attempt to stop it from further wiping away ancient forests. Kimberly-Clark is not a responsible corporation and we are working to expose its environmental record."
