Three things you can do to help save our forests:

1.   Buy paper products with recycled content - especially post-consumer fibers.

2.   Tell tissue manufacturers to stop using virgin wood for throwaway products and don't buy their products  until they do.  Comanies to encourage to change policy and avoid until they do include Bounty, Scott, Viva, Kleenex, Charmin, Cottonelle, and Puffs.

3.   Buy paper products made with clean, safe processes.  Look for products labeled totally chlorine-free (TCF) or processed chlorine-free (PCF).

Half the world's forests are now gone, and well over 30 million acres more are lost each year.  In the U.S., more than half our national forests have been logged, mined or otherwise industrialized.  We depend on these forests for many things, but in the scope of climate change, we need them to clean the air.
