ALERT: Wake Up Weyerhaeuser: Protect Forests Now!

TAKE ACTION @ the Rainforest Action Network:
Wake up Weyerhaeuser by expressing your opposition to destructive logging

The Rainforest Action Network has launched an international campaign to transform logging giant Weyerhaeuser's environmental polices, described as "the number one destroyer of old-growth forests in North America". This follows close upon RAN et al's recent successes in getting Boise Cascade Corporation to withdraw from old-growth forests in the United States and adopt a plan to exit endangered forests worldwide. Weyerhaeuser still logs in Canada's primary forests and imports products from around the world that come from primary and other endangered forests. Forests.org joins RAN in calling for a complete, immediate and absolute moratorium on logging in so-called first-growth forests, forestland that has never been commercially logged. More information on RAN's "Wake Up Weyerhauser" campaign can be found here.
