Here's the skinny: Kleenex sells 180 billion sheets of tissue paper each year and not one of them has any recycled content. They can make a tissue that stops the spread of the flu but they can't make them out of something besides 10,000 year old trees? Kleenex even goes as far as to boast on their website that their tissues are made from 100% virgin fiber. Kleenex and parent corporation Kimberly-Clark are felling ancient forests to flush them down the toilet. Phooey!

Just wanted to say that tomorrow is the Day of Action.
Lots of events around the country, over 280 with all the org.s combined, about 160 with Greenpeace alone.
It's not too late to sign up: www.kleercut.net/nov3events
