Tell Costco: Don’t flush the boreal forest

We urge you to commit to not to sell paper products from critical habitat or undisturbed parts of the boreal forest. The boreal forest is the largest intact forest in the world, but it’s being cut down at a rate of 1.5 football fields every minute. Often, that wood pulp is used to make slightly softer toilet paper.

Billions of birds and threatened herds of woodland caribou depend on this undisturbed forest. This vast northern forest is too special to be torn down and flushed away.

By committing to sell only Forest Stewardship Council certified toilet paper and other paper products, Costco could help take the pressure off ecosystems like our boreal forest.
