Kleenex = Kleercut

Kimberly-Clark clearcuts ancient forests to manufacture Kleenex tissue and other paper products we use once and throw away. As students across the country convince colleges and universities not to buy K-C products, the company will be forced to make an important decision: in order to regain consumer support, will it continue with ancient forest destruction or will it use recycled and FSC-certified fiber?

What do Harvard, Rice, Skidmore, and American University have in common?

Students at all four of these schools have convinced their institutions that buying disposable paper products made from ancient forests that we use once and throw away is no way to go. Want to get involved with kicking Kimberly-Clark, forest destroyer, off your campus next year?

Students from coast to coast (and we mean all four coasts: east, west, north and south) are getting the word out about the Kleercut campaign in many creative ways.

Learn more about the Kleercut Campaign, and take a look at our spoof of Kimberly-Clark’s “Let it Out” Commercial. (We “helped” them while they were filming on location in New York City!)

Take Action on Global Warming, Participate in the Congress Week of Action!


Register your event for the Congress Week of Action September15th-19th!

 

We're seeing the effects of global warming all around us - more intense heat waves that disproportionately affect the elderly and poor, more severe storms that wreak havoc on our homes and communities, and all kinds of changing cycles in the natural world.

The U.S. government continues to fuel global warming while refusing to support solutions to the problem. While people, businesses, and local governments across the country are taking action on global warming, Congress has been woefully slow to act. But they won't do anything unless they hear from the people they represent. That's where you come in.

Students have always been at the forefront of social movements. To defend our future against environmental challenges we must get organized to call for solutions.

The week of September 15th-19th is the Congress Week of Action. To learn more click the Read More button below.
