Greenpeace hacks Kleenex PR

Fun video

Posted by David Roberts at 4:10 PM on 30 Mar 2007

This is a pretty clever stunt by Greenpeace activists. They infiltrated the filming of a Kleenex commercial to get the word out about the fact that Kimberly-Clark (maker of Kleenex) uses 100% virgin wood pulp in their products -- as a result, the Canadian Boreal Forest, one of the biggest carbon sinks in the world, is being clear cut. Check out kleercut.net, and watch this video:

There's another video of the same protest here.

Off topic

Ever noticed what kind of ads adsense dishes up for a post like this ? It's all about timber and tropical hardwoods . Ironic , isn't it ?

but

According to that Lawrence Livermore super computer model, Boreal forests actually cause warnming.  Because they absorb more sunlight than snow.  Hehehey.

Told you that one would come back to bite you.
