Keeping the pressure on Kimberly-Clark

UPDATE: Greenpeace and Kimberly-Clark have announced the successful resolution of the Kleercut campaign as the maker of Kleenex has established a new sustainability policy focused on protecting Endangered Forests. To find out more go to

Several Greenpeace activists locked down the main entrance to Kimberly-Clark's global administrative headquarters in Knoxville, TN on August 14, 2008 as part of their ongoing effort to pressure the company into adopting business practices that protect rather than devastate North America's remaining Boreal forests. While the lockdown was under way, another group of activists deployed a 30 ft. by 20 ft. banner from the facility's parking garage that read: "Kleenex: Wiping away ancient forests."

Clear-cutting the forests & jungles of the world will finally allow us unprecedented access to hidden & overgrown archeological sites, & to animal species that have traditionally been hard to get at, like Sasquatch. It will also free up valuable real estate for our ever-growing population, & economic opportunities for everyone.

Depopulation of the entire human race (except for me) is the only answer. We must erase the human parasite plague which endlessly leeches upon our limited resources. We Greenpeace Elite shall eradicate Global Warming, snuffing out the human life whoes very breath suffocates our Goddess Earth. With your help, we'll create a better pandemic, a more lethal virus, a deadlier plague, in hopes that one day the disease called Humans, are utterly extinct. Because the world is a better place without YOU!
