It's pretty clear that people all across the country agree--Southern forests are too important to be wasted for fast food packaging! To make your own sign, click here.
Instead of using Southern forests for disposable packaging, Wendy's/Arby's and the other 11 Fast Food Junkies should:
1. Post-consumer recycled content should be maximized in all paper
products, because multiple life-cycle analyses clearly show that
recycled fiber saves resources and limits pressure on natural forests.
2. Southern Forests are too important to waste in packaging.
Increase packaging efficiency and reduce overall packaging.
3. Avoid sourcing paper originating from endangered forests-those
remaining natural areas with extremely high conservation values must be
avoided.
4. Avoid sourcing paper originating from the conversion of natural forests to plantations.
5. Source paper from lands certified by the Forest Stewardship
Council - the only certification that limits large-scale clear-cutting,
prohibits the conversion of forests to plantations and requires the
protection of high conservation value forests.
