Here's the introduction -
"AUSTRALIA'S largest supermarket chain, Woolworths, is marketing some of its tissue and paper products as environmentally responsible even though the paper is imported from Indonesia, a country with one of the world's worst records for illegal and unsustainable logging.
It also appears to be sourcing at least some of the paper from Asia Pulp and Paper, an Indonesian company with what green groups have described as an appalling environment and human rights reputation." (SMH Online 23 August 07).
From what the jouranalist wrote, it appears Woolworths is still trying to avoid saying anything about their relationship with Asia Pulp & Paper.
Woolworths can't ignore these questions much longer. More and more people are concerned with the environment, and it is disgusting that woolies lies to shoppers about the source of their pulp.
We all need to question our country's biggest retailer - call Woolworths and ask them to explain!

Thank you for this page - very worthy and urgent information. I will try to let as many people as possible know as everyone reading this should. Well done speaking out. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the information! What a disgrace Woolworths is. So, not only do they import the stuff from a dodgy company, they lie about whether its sustainable? Bastards. They've lost me for good. I'm shopping anywhere else from now on
Glad I can share this with others concerned about our impact on the environment. It's so important to know where all the products we use are coming from (really coming from), and what impact that has on our environment, our community, our economy, and our world.
