Yes, we are closer to 600 Forest Friendly businesses than 500 (!!), but there are still ways for you to help out with the KC campaign. You can keep on recruiting businesses (the more we have, the stronger the statement we make). But what if you’ve recruited every business in your town/city/state/county? Well, if you have just absolutely exhausted your recruitment pool in your area (and even if you haven’t), there are some new things you can do.
Here’s one. Keep an eye out for large businesses/institutions that are using KC products. (In the US and Canada, these are the brands: Kleenex, Cottonelle, Viva, Windows, Scott, Surpass and Tradition; outside of the US and Canada: Kleenex, Cottonelle, Cottonelle Puppy, Andrex, Scottbrand, Hakle, Scottex.) Pretty soon you will be able to use Kleercut.net to report your “in the field” sightings, as well as find instructions on the next steps you can take after the spotting. So right now, keep your eyes open, and make your lists of businesses/institutions long! I’ve already spotted one—I was at the San Francisco Botanical Garden’s annual plant sale, and I noticed a KC toilet paper dispenser! (Which suggests that there is KC toilet paper in there . . .) How ironic!
Also, if you have any tips/stories about recruiting businesses, don’t keep them to yourself! Send them to me (renata.silberblatt@sfo.greenpeace.org), and I’ll put them up on the blog for everyone to see.
