Dear NRDC Activist,
Today was Procter & Gamble's annual shareholder meeting, and we need to
make sure they continue to hear loud and clear that protecting the boreal
forest is a must.
The boreal helps stave off worsening climate change by storing huge
amounts of climate-busting carbon pollution in its trees and soils. It's
also home to hundreds of Indigenous communities and the iconic caribou.
And its ancient trees are being clearcut every minute in part to make
P&G's toilet paper.
Last year, voting shareholders overwhelmingly supported a resolution
calling for P&G to work to eliminate deforestation and intact forest
degradation from its supply chains. And hundreds of thousands of NRDC
supporters have sent letters to P&G's CEO demanding that the company stop
destroying the boreal. After today's annual meeting, we want P&G
leadership to know: We expect more, and we're not going away.
[ [link removed] ]We need all hands on deck if we're going
to protect the boreal. Please, sign the petition today and demand that P&G
end the tree-to-toilet pipeline, and help protect one of the last great
forests on Earth.
Thanks so much for your help in this fight.
Sincerely,
NRDC
P.S. See our email to you below for more information about the majestic
boreal forest.

Tell Charmin: Stop Flushing the Boreal Forest for Toilet Paper!
The vast and wild boreal forest of Canada is an invaluable tool to help us
combat the climate crisis. But it's being cut at a rapid rate in part to
make toilet paper — and major toilet paper brand Charmin is fueling this
tree-to-toilet pipeline.
Help us put a stop to this and protect the boreal!

Dear NRDC Activist,
Blistering heat, extreme wildfires, and devastating floods caused by
unchecked climate change continue to ravage the planet. If we're to combat
the climate crisis before it's too late, it's urgent we protect one of our
greatest assets in this fight: Canada's boreal forest.
This majestic, climate-critical forest stores huge amounts of
climate-busting carbon pollution in its trees and soils, and it is home to
hundreds of Indigenous communities and the iconic boreal caribou. But the
boreal is being cut at a dizzying rate — in part to make throwaway toilet
paper for multi-billion dollar corporations like Procter & Gamble (P&G)
and its Charmin brand.
Every minute, a small city block's worth of boreal forest is clearcut, in
part to produce Charmin. P&G is fueling this tree-to-toilet pipeline which
threatens our climate — it's disastrous and it must be stopped.
On October 12th, P&G will hold its annual shareholder meeting and we need
to raise the alarm and get this on the agenda. At a time when more and
more consumers are demanding companies switch to sustainable methods of
production, we need to be loud and clear in our demand that P&G stop
flushing away our forests.
[ [link removed] ]Will
will you join us in speaking up for the boreal? Tell Procter & Gamble CEO
David S. Taylor to stop this tree-to-toilet pipeline, take important steps
for our climate, and help protect one of the last great forests on Earth!
[ [link removed] ]Tell Proctor & Gamble: Stop Destroying the Boreal Forest
Far too many toilet paper products found on shelves are made in part from
climate-critical forests like Canada's boreal forest. And P&G leads the
pack, rejecting demands from consumers and shareholders alike to end its
reliance on trees from climate-critical intact forests like the boreal.
In fact, last year, 67% of voting shareholders supported a resolution
calling for the company to work to eliminate deforestation and intact
forest degradation from its supply chains — the first time a proposal
related to forest loss passed in any corporation's history. Yet, P&G
continues to drag its feet.
[ [link removed] ]There's no time to waste: Sign the petition ahead of P&G's
shareholder's meeting and let them know that you won't stand for any more
destruction of the boreal to make toilet paper.
This call for P&G to get serious about its climate responsibilities comes
as President Biden is pushing hard to get his game-changing Build Back
Better climate action plan passed in Congress, and as world leaders
prepare to descend on the next international climate meeting — COP26 — in
Scotland.
Our planet has no time for the largest companies in the world to take
half-measures and the boreal can't wait for P&G to get with the program on
its own. And it all starts with a groundswell of petitions ahead of P&G's
annual shareholder meeting.
Procter & Gamble has the power to change things. It's just up to us to
make sure the company follows through.
[ [link removed] ]Demand P&G get with the program, heed the calls of consumers,
shareholders, scientists — and you — to help save our planet from climate
collapse by ending their use of climate-critical intact boreal forest for
toilet paper.
Thank you for taking a stand in this fight.
Sincerely,
Shelley Vinyard
