Greenpeace

Consider the Day of Action over? Reconsider! The days of action against Kimberly-Clark, destroyer of ancient forests, are ahead and are plenty.

Here are some situations in which you might find yourself these days:

1. Wanting to get involved, but school’s ending and you’re strapped with a ton of work (but not a ton of time).

2. Wanting to get involved, but not really wanting to take on a huge school-wide K-C campaign.

3. Wanting to get involved, but school’s close to being done—and that’s all you can think about!

As luck will have it, there are a few answers to the above-listed problems.

1. Even though school’s ending, you can take steps now to start your campus on the K-C free path. Contact Lindsey Allen either by phone (415) 710-5601 (cell) or email, Lindsey.Allen@sfo.greenpeace.org to find out all the exciting ways you can prime your campus for activities next year. And hey-- some of these activities are as simple as submitting an op-ed to your school newspaper, not really time consuming.

2. Can’t take on the K-C campaign to make your school K-C free? Maybe you’re not a student or maybe you are, but even so, you’re hesitant to start a campaign and nothing Lindsey says will convince you otherwise. Well, fine. Why not become a Forest Friendly 500 recruiter? Along with campuses pledging to halt using K-C products till the company stops clear cutting ancient forests, it’s important for businesses to assert their consumer muscle and pledge too.
