Costco is wiping out our chance to stop climate change… to make luxury toilet paper.
The magnificent boreal forest is the largest remaining intact forest in the world. It covers over half of Canada and it’s home to hundreds of indigenous communities and billions of animals. The stretches of pristine forest hold and absorb massive loads of carbon from the air.
But loggers are sawing the forest down at a terrifying rate and unleashing ever more carbon -- so Costco can make luxury toilet paper out of these old-growth trees.
Ekō (formerly SumOfUs) members like you forced Costco executives to the negotiating table by raising the alarm. But this week, negotiations with Costco execs have gone cold -- can you chip in to confront them with mobile billboards outside their HQ?
