Your "View" Can Protect the Boreal Forest
On Feb 12, 2007 four activists locked themselves together with chains inside Kimberly-Clark’s Canadian headquarters in Toronto. They announced that they would stay put until Kimberly-Clark’s Vice President of Environment, Ken Strassner, agreed to meet with Greenpeace.
As the four entered the office and locked down, others broadcast chainsaw noises and dumped woodchips in the corridors to highlight the company’s ongoing destruction of North America’s magnificent Boreal Forest and to further disrupt operations in the office. The activists were removed by police a few hours after they entered the building, charged with mischief and released.
Thanks to the thousands of you who took action that day by contacting Kimberly-Clark and asking them to stop destroying the Boreal Forest for disposable products like Kleenex.

On another note it has come to our attention from one of our Kleercut activists that talk show host Rosie O’Donnell has been promoting Kimberly-Clark Products on her show The View. It is appalling that a TV show as popular as The View would promote to its viewers products manufactured by Kimberly-Clark, a company that destroys ancient forests to make disposable tissue products.
Take action now! Click on this http://abc.go.com/daytime/theview/solicitations.html to tell ABC and The View that it is unacceptable to encourage the use of Kimberly-Clark products.
Remind The View that:
* In North America, most of Kimberly-Clark’s consumer products (sold in stores) contain no recycled fiber whatsoever.
* This company has the capacity to make a much higher percentage of its products from post-consumer recycled fiber
* Instead, Kimberly-Clark chooses to use virgin fiber from old growth forests such as North America’s Boreal to produce its tissue paper products.
Copy your comments to us! Please also take the time to copy your comments to us at info@kleercut.net - that way if The View ignores your feedback, we can remind them what the public thinks of their work with Kimberly-Clark.
