Hurricane!

A Greenpeace action against deforestation for Kleenex.

Kimberly Clark, the makers of Kleenex and Scott Tissue, are “kleercutting” the last ancient forest of North America for products that we wipe our nose and toss in the trash. The Boreal Forest is rapidly disappearing as each day the size of Connecticut is wiped off the map and, Kimberly Clark purchases a little less than 15% of all of its wood from the Boreal Forest. To give you a sense of how much wood that is, 1 out of every 4 homes has Kimberly Clark products in it. Now all of these components are disturbing enough, however the tremendously scary factor lies in the soil. This forest is the largest carbon-sink in the world… this forest, is the largest carbon sink in the world. The preservation of the Boreal Forest is more than imperative in our fight against climate change.
