Don't Flush Ancient Forests

There's no excuse for destroying ancient forests – especially when they're used to make disposable products such as tissues and toilet paper. Please tell Kimberly-Clark, maker of Kleenex, to stop destroying ancient and endangered forests and to start using more recycled fiber in its products.

Dear Ms. Perkins, Mr. Ken Strassner, Vice-President Environment for Kimberly-Clark, Mr. Dave Dickson, Director, Corporate Communications,

As a consumer, I am gravely concerned that Kimberly-Clark is destroying ancient forests to produce disposable tissue products such as Kleenex brand facial tissue and toilet paper.

Canada's boreal forest has evolved over thousands of years and provides important habitat for bears, caribou, wolves, eagles and 30 percent of American songbirds. Such a unique and important ecosystem should not be destroyed to create throwaway products.

Numerous companies are agreeing not to sell or source wood products from ancient forests. Kimberly-Clark should follow suit and significantly increase the amount of post-consumer recycled fiber it uses in its tissue paper products. Your company should also make a commitment to protect the earth's ancient and endangered forests and seek Forest Stewardship Council certified products for what virgin wood fiber it does use.

At the upcoming Annual General Meeting, please indicate your support for ancient forests and for making Kimberly-Clark into a truly environmentally responsible company. In doing so, you will also be meeting the demands of your customers, who do not want to support businesses that destroy ancient forests. . In doing so, you will also be meeting the demands of your customers, who do not want to support businesses that destroy ancient forests.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

"Sincerely," and your name and contact information will be added to the end of the letter.
