Green Restaurant Association Sends Letter to Kimberly-Clark

GRA lett1 In another example of a business taking action to protect forests, the Green Restaurant Association recently wrote to Kimberly-Clark. Their letter encouraged the company to:

1. Commit to increasing its post consumer recycled content to match that of Cascades Tissues North River Line
2. Commit to only using FSC certified wood products, when it is using virgin fiber
3. Switch to processed chlorine free or totally chlorine free

The GRA is a non-profit organization that provides services in research, consulting, education, marketing and community organizing to restaurants across the US.
