Demand Chlorine Free Paper
GREENPEACE is urging people to continue to demonstrate interest in chlorine free papers by sending written requests to suppliers. Impressing suppliers with the growing determination of consumers to buy not only "recycled" papers, but chlorine free papers "is critical in getting the U.S. industry to abandon its reliance on chlorine intensive bleaching," Greenpeace says, "an addiction that places the industry as the largest water polluter in the world." Send copies of the letters to Shelley Stewart at Greenpeace, 4649 Sunnyside Ave., N., Seattle, WA 98013 - (206) 632-4326. She can also provide further information on recycling and de-inking methods.
