Kleercut @ UofA




Did you know that currently Alberta's largest university is purchasing toilet paper and paper towels from KimberlyClark (makers of Kleenex)- which sources pulp from Alberta's ENDANGERED Foothill Forests?

That's right...everytime one of the nearly 40,000 students, staff and visitors on the UofA campus uses the bathroom, they are contributing to the destruction of caribou, and grizzly bear habitat, without even knowing it!!

Give your BUM a voice....ensure that your wiping needs are not wiping out endangered forests!

It is time to educate students, administration and the public about how their consumer choices are destroying Canada's boreal forest.

Come out and find out more about this new campaign. The outreach will last only one month, and we need you! Donate an hour, or a day and help out on this fun campaign!

When: Monday Feb 27th, at 6:30pm
Where: CAB 273 (Central Academic Building) on Campus
Why: Cause we care! Oh...and 'cause there is over 80 campuses in North America running similar campaigns!

For more info, please contact Rebecca (info below) or check out www.kleercut.net

For those of you not in Edmonton...if you would like some guidance, Alberta focused materials or would like to collaborate on a campus down there, please let me know!
