Customize your message Every time you blow your nose with Kleenex tissue, you're blowing away 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. ~~~~~~~~~ Teach Kimberly Clark a Real Lesson: Special Invitation to Parents, Teachers and Students Are you a student, teacher or parent? We need YOU to help schools across the country replace Kleenex and other Kimberly-Clark products with recycled alternatives that are better for the environment. . We've launched a new online toolkit with everything you need to get educated, get involved and help make your school more forest friendly, including facts, classroom exercises, step-by-step guides, and sample resolutions. Start your own Kleenex Free Schools project today and be part of the solution for our ancient forests. http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/campaigns/forests/kleercut/forest-friendly-schools-protec/get-involved ~~~~~~~~~ You also can SHOW the company how you feel. We've rolled out a new online tool so you can send a photo and a message directly to Kimberly Clark. Take Action >> Let it all out! Let Kimberly Clark know how you really feel. http://members.greenpeace.org/action/start/180/letitout Check out what people like you already are sharing and then submit your own photo. http://members.greenpeace.org/action/result/180/letitout/mosaic/ Kimberly Clark won't stop its ancient forest destruction unless the company can see what it really means to YOU. So please, get involved, and encourage at least 5 of your friends to participate, too. http://hq.demaction.org/dia/organizations/greenpeace/tellafriend.jsp?tell_a_friend_KEY=2576 For the trees, Scott Paul Director of the Forest Campaign GPUS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've witnessed a few "coincidences" in my time, but even I was shocked when I learned about this one. After three years of dragging its feet, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was due to release a final decision on endangered species status for the polar bear on January 9th. But that date came and went with no decision. Less than a month later, on February 6, the Minerals Management Service leased 29 million acres of prime polar bear habitat for oil drilling. And what makes it all the more stunning is that both the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Minerals Management Service are part of the Department of Interior. We felt it was important to send a message to the Bush Administration this week that drilling for oil while failing to protect the polar bear is unacceptable. We declared the headquarters of the Department of Interior as 'critical habitat for oil lobbyists.' Then we followed up that message with a lawsuit along with The Center for Biological Diversity and National Resources Defense Council to force Secretary of Interior, Dirk Kempthorne to finally release a decision on the polar bear.

It's time for the Department of Interior to give us a decision. Sincerely, Melanie Duchin Global Warming Campaigner ~~~~~ 3 Ways to Help 1: Help Greenpeace Take a Stand.
