10why it's important:
Those forests are very important to our environment and even us, especially right now with global warming and stuff like that.
the plan of action:
My fam and I aren't buying Kimberly-Clark anymore. We buy Puffs or Target brands of tissues, Bounty instead of Scott for paper towels, and Charmin in place of Cottonelle for toilet paper. I'm also sending a rant/rave letter to Kimberly-Clark.
how you can get involved:
By doing the same as I am.

That's pretty cool. What do the other brands use to make their tissues? Good luck! I will ask my mom to not buy kleenex anymore.
i'm not quite sure on that one yet but i'm researching trying 2 find out. :) thx soooo much
:)
plz comment & let me no u were here
:) thx ya
well i just found out that maybe Puffs aren't much better those are made from pine, spruce, eucalyptus, oak and maple. i'm now looking and finding the other more generic brands
so i guess i'm starting to buy the softest alternative to name brands. i'll start testing and let u no when i have my verdict
