Companies don’t need to use clearcut forests and put communities at risk to make toilet paper, paper towels, and tissues. Sign NRDC’s petition demanding more sustainable, ethical products on store shelves

Add Your Name: Tell Paper Manufacturers to Protect Forests, Protect People

Greeting from the Boreal. Protect forests, protect people

Many of the most widely available toilet paper, paper towel, and tissue brands rely on wood pulp from centuries-old trees chopped down in places like the boreal forest of Canada. This widespread clearcutting for disposable paper products degrades wildlife habitat and releases millions of tons of carbon pollution that's been locked in old-growth trees for centuries.

It also puts people at risk. Companies' sourcing and production practices, combined with weak corporate oversight, can threaten public health, livelihoods, cultural practices, and the rights of Indigenous communities.

It doesn't have to be this way. Companies have the tools to produce sustainable alternatives — but they need to feel pressure from consumers like you to follow through.

Public pressure is already working. Some companies are changing their sourcing decisions, increasing their use of recycled materials, and investing in more sustainable alternative fibers that reduce strain on forests.

Add your name: Demand that companies get more sustainable products on store shelves.

Companies don’t need to use clearcut forests for toilet paper, paper towels, and tissues. Sign NRDC’s petition demanding more sustainable, less harmful products on store shelves.

Stop driving the clearcutting old-growth forests, like Canada's boreal forest, to make toilet paper, paper towels, and tissues. This destroys wildlife habitat, releases carbon pollution that's been locked away for centuries, and puts public health, livelihoods, and the rights of Indigenous communities at risk.

I'm calling on major producers like you to:

Shift sourcing toward recycled materials and more sustainable alternative fibers
Strengthen oversight of your supply chain to protect the people and communities affected
Get more sustainable, ethical tissue products on store shelves

Consumers like me are watching. Protect forests, protect people.
