Subject

Stop the destructive and unsustainable logging of Canada's Boreal Forest

Dear Mr. Bernier,

I am writing to express my support for Greenpeace's action today and my concern regarding your company's purchases of wood chips from Abitibi-Consolidated and Bowater. Their logging practices in Canada's Boreal Forest are destructive and unsustainable.

I urge SFK Pulp to adopt an environmental policy that supports sustainable forestry as certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and limits logging in intact forest areas and caribou habitat. I hope that you will use your financial influence as a large customer of Abitibi-Consolidated and Bowater, to force them to end their destructive logging operations in the Boreal Forest.

Reckless logging practices such as massive clear-cutting are destroying the Boreal Forest last remaining intact forest areas. Considering that only 25% of the world's original forests remain, these practices are unacceptable.

SFK Pulp should consider its role in forest protection as a serious part of your regular business. Take the first step, and demand that Abitibi-Consolidated and Bowater end destructive logging.

Sincerely,

John P.

Right now, Greenpeace Ship Artic Sunrise is in Quebec’s Saguenay River, preventing the export of thousands of tonnes of pulp to Europe. The pulp manufactured by SFK Pulp, is made from wood from destructive logging in Canada’s Boreal Forest. It is destined for paper giant Stora Enso in Germany and France. Greenpeace activists are blockading the freighter, Jaeger Arrow to prevent its departure.

Greenpeace is not just focusing on the logging companies directly causing the destruction of the Boreal Forest but is also putting the spotlight on their large corporate customers whose purchases are fuelling the destruction. We need your help getting a message to the CEO of SFK Pulp, a major purchaser of wood chips from logging companies Abitibi-Consolidated and Bowater: “Canada’s Boreal Forest must be protected”.

Write A Letter To The CEO's That Are Destroying The Boreal Forests In Canada

Logging companies are cutting down Canada’s Boreal forest - destroying this ancient forest at an alarming rate. Three of the largest companies involved in this destruction are Abitibi Consolidated, Bowater and Kruger. These companies are regularly clearcutting areas the size of 17 000 football fields. As one of the world’s last remaining original forests, Canada’s Boreal deserves better. We need your help getting the message to The CEOs of Abitibi Consolidated, Bowater and Kruger: Canada’s forests are not disposable.

Greenpeace is calling these companies to account - over the next few weeks and months we will be putting pressure on these companies to clean up their practices. We need your help in letting these companies know that Canadians - their customers - want them to clean up their logging practices.

Tell Abitibi CEO John Weaver, along with Kruger and Bowater CEOs Joseph Kruger and David Paterson what you think of the way in which their companies continue to treat Canada’s Boreal forest.
