Help tell Kinko�s �thank you� for helping to protect old
growth forests!
In an exciting recent announcement Kinko�s, the huge
copy-center chain, announced that it would no longer do business with
Boise (formerly Boise Cascade). Boise is one of the largest companies in
the United States that logs and sells old growth wood and is hurting the
rainforests of the world. Boise also sells wood products that come from
the tropical rainforests of the Amazon and Southeast Asia.
We want Kinko�s to know that they are doing the right
thing and helping to protect the world�s rainforests. By not doing
business with Boise, Kinko�s has shown they really do believe in
protecting all the animals and people that live in the rainforests of
the world. Often we have to write letters to companies like Boise that
are doing bad things. This time we get to congratulate a job well done.
Thanks Kinko�s!
You have the power to make a positive difference!
Kinko�s is one of the largest copy-centers in the United
States and uses a lot of paper. By not buying paper from Boise they are
helping to protect the rainforests of the world. Creatures like the
beautiful Spirit Bear in Canada now will have more protection in their
forest home.
Here is what you can do to help say "thanks Kinko's":
Take a used sheet of paper and on the other side make a
drawing of your favorite rainforest animal and write a short letter at
the bottom. Tell Kinko�s how proud you are of them for not buying paper
from Boise.
Here�s a sample letter for you to follow:
Dear Mr. Kusin,
I love the rainforests and all the animals that live there. I am excited
to hear that your company is helping to protect the forests by not
buying paper from Boise. Boise is a company that is hurting the world�s
rainforests by logging and selling them. Thank you for helping to
protect the world�s rainforests and all the creatures and people that
live in them.
Thank you.
Mail the letters to:
Kinko�s
