Dear John

Charmin toilet paper is threatening our climate, Indigenous communities, and
woodland caribou. But with your help we can stop it.

As you read this, Procter & Gamble -- the company behind Charmin -- is getting
fiber to make their TP from huge swaths of clearcut trees in Canada’s boreal
forest. Between 1996 and 2015, more than 28 million acres of the boreal forest
were logged.

If Procter & Gamble doesn’t change course, we could lose this unique ecosystem
forever. So we need your help demanding Procter & Gamble stop flushing forests
down the toilet.

Sign the petition: Tell Procter & Gamble to stop flushing forests down the
toilet!

Canada’s boreal forest is known as the “Amazon of the North.” But its old-growth
trees are being cut down and pulped to make toilet paper. And the toilet paper
from those majestic old-growth trees? Used once. Then flushed down the toilet.

And believe it or not, Charmin toilet paper has no recycled content. It’s made
from virgin forest fiber.

The boreal forests are not just essential to wildlife and the Indigenous peoples
that call these forests home. They also store millions of tons of carbon. That
makes them a crucial line of defense against the climate crisis -- which will
impact all of us.

First Procter & Gamble must own up to its role in environmental destruction.
Then it must stop making its toilet paper from virgin pulp. But we need your
help demanding the company act.

Sign your name: Protect the Amazon of the North from being turned into single
use toilet paper!

We need to stop this tree-to-toilet pipeline and make Charmin planet-safe. The
cost to communities, species, and our climate is simply too high to keep
flushing our forests away. Instead of using materials from precious forests,
Procter & Gamble should use recycled materials and sustainable alternative
fibers.

We know this change is possible. Other companies -- like Trader Joe's and 365
Bath Tissue -- are already doing it. That’s why we’re working with a coalition
of environmental partners to send 300,000 signatures to Procter & Gamble. Your
signature will help drive home the message: “Stop flushing our precious forests
down the drain.”

Help send 300,000 signatures to Procter & Gamble: Protect our forests from
clear-cutting and logging!
