[Peace] stop putting old growth forests into the toilet

[srwisema at uiuc.edu]

Just know this and let others know:

Every time you blow your nose with   Kleenex   tissue, you're blowing away part of an ancient forest. And every time you buy   Scott   or   Cottonelle   at the store, you're flushing old growth trees down the toilet.

Most of the pulp Kimberly-Clark uses for its disposable tissue products comes from unsustainable sources. This includes wood from ancient forests like the Canadian Boreal Forest. 

As the biggest tissue manufacturer on the planet, Kimberly-Clark has the resources to shift toward sustainability but it is refusing to use recycled paper in its products. Instead, the largest stretch of ancient forest in North America is being clearcut for disposable paper products.

Wood need not even be used to make paper. Grasses can be used instead.
