Hi Friends,
This morning Greenpeace activists welcomed employees at Kimberly-Clark’s newest outpost today sending a strong message through demonstration and civil disobedience. Posing as movers, activists entered the office with moving boxes full of recycled toilet and tissue paper and urged the staff to sign a document calling on the company to stop destroying one of North America’s wildest forests to produce disposable products.
The event is the latest step in an international campaign to force Kimberly-Clark to stop purchasing pulp for its disposable products, including Kleenex, from destructive logging operations in Canada’s Boreal Forest.
Take Action: Stand With the Activists and Tell Kleenex to Stop Destroying Forests
“Greenpeace is asking Kimberly-Clark to move up to a higher standard of forest protection as they move into a new office,†said Greenpeace activist Basil Tsimoyianis. “Greenpeace will continue to directly communicate with Kimberly-Clark at events like this until the company stops using endangered forests such as the Boreal to make disposable products like tissue paper.â€
Kimberly-Clark is the largest tissue product company in the world. It manufactures the popular Kleenex, Scott and Cottonelle brands of toilet paper and facial tissue. Kimberly-Clark produces millions of tons of tissue products annually and generates net sales of $18.3 billion.
Basil, a Greenpeace volunteer who ran a local Kleercut Campaign, continued, “KC is one of the top tissue manufacturers, they cut down virgin forests, and miscommunicate their environmental practices to consumers. I wanted to open a dialogue with them. Also, this office is new and they are expanding their company; they can afford to expand into sustainable forestry.â€
“It went real smooth. We pulled up to the new office and started pulling out boxes, we looked like really legit delivery folks. The door was locked but someone came and let us move the boxes inside. We all moved in handing out cloth sacks filled with tree saplings and flyers to employees that read ‘Kimberly-Clark can do better.’ The KC folks were really confused so three activists began a lockdown and the group revealed that we were Greenpeace. A lot of folks came out of their offices and engaged the activists much more than we expected. But then the cops were called and everyone but the three activists on lockdown and the videographer left. Those 4 were arrested and we’re currently waiting for their release.â€
But we need your help! Kimberly-Clark’s contributes to the destruction of ancient forests and has been unwilling to improve its practices, so Greenpeace is stepping up the pressure to tell them that they must change their production process and use recycled content. You can too!
Tell Kimberly-Clark That It Can Do Better
Peace and Thanks,
