> Kleenex: Stop destroying the Boreal Forest. "

>

> We're sending Kimberly-Clark a strong message: now

> it's YOUR turn.

>

> Act Now >> We've obtained the direct phone number to

> Kimberly-Clark CEO Thomas Falk's office, and we want

> you to call him and deliver this message: " Stop

> destroying ancient forests and start using recycled

> content in your tissue products. "

>

> Call 972-281-1308 Now!

> (*Note: This may be a long-distance call. If you'd

> rather call Kimberly Clark's Customer Service, just

> dial 1-800-544-1847)

>

> Meanwhile, I'm in Texas today for Kimberly-Clark's

> annual shareholders meeting, and I'll be personally

> delivering the same message to them.

>

> We've been campaigning against Kimberly Clark for

> more than a year now, and thanks to you, we're

> making a real difference. More than 26,000 of you

> have written to Kimberly-Clark already. We've taken

> the campaign to a new level today, and I hope you'll

> take your efforts to a new level too. Please, take
