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!
