Join us for the National Call-in Day...
 Who: You, and everyone concerned with protecting our forests
What: Call in Day to Arby's/Wendy'sCEO Roland Smith. Sign up below and we will send you all the information you need
Where: You city, home, school, church, community
When: Tuesday, November 25th all day
Why:
* Southern forests are too important to be wasted for fast food packaging.
* Wendy's and Arby's have merged to form one giant fast food company
and they are huge buyers of paper packaging from Southern forests and
suppliers following business as usual industrial forestry including
large scale clearcutting and the conversion of natural forests to pine
plantions.
*
Join us to tell Wendy's/Arby's CEO Roland Smith that they should
increase the post-consumer recycled content of their packaging and turn
away from business as usual industrial forestry by insisting only on
paper made from respnsibly managed forests.
Sign up below and Dogwood Alliance will send you an email with all the
information you need including a script and phone number. Or email

Thank you for participating in this day to protect our forests! We will be in touch shortly.
Make a call to CEO Smith...
Ask your friends to do the same... sign up and we will email you the script and other materials.
Instead, they should:
a) Use more post-consumer recycled paper
b) Reduce the amount of packaging they use
c) Know your source--buy paper from sustainably managed forests like those managed under the Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC).
Generating phone calls can be a very effective
grassroots tactic. A phone call has a great impact because it shows a
decision maker that someone cared enough about the issue to pick up the
phone and call them. In addition, a phone call can inconvenience the
the company --someone has to answer the phone, and a flood of calls can
tie up their phone lines, guaranteeing that the company takes notice.
Phone calls also are fun because they give the activist making the call
instant gratification in the form of a response from whoever answers
the phone.
If noone answers, leave a message for the CEO to return to!
