Several Greenpeace activists locked down the main entrance to Kimberly-Clark’s global administrative headquarters in Knoxville, TN today as part of their ongoing effort to pressure the company into adopting business practices that protect rather than devastate North America’s remaining Boreal forests. While the lockdown was under way, another group of activists deployed a 30 ft. by 20 ft. banner from the facility’s parking garage that read: “Kleenex: Wiping away ancient forests.”
Greenpeace's Kleercut campaigners continued their efforts to stop Kimberly-Clark from destroying ancient forests to make its disposable products by locking down a Kleenex factory in Fullerton, CA.
Kimberly-Clark refuses to stop destroying ancient forests to make Kleenex, Scott, and Cottonelle products. Since the company has been unwilling to create a fiber policy that increases the use of recycled fiber and because they continue to destroy ancient forests, Kleercut activists today launched a blockade at KC’s New Milford, Connecticut facility.
