And the gold medal goes to... Kleenex! With a new world record for fastest forest destruction, Kimberly-Clark, maker of Kleenex, is the world champion of forest destruction, making four million tons of tissue products â?? like Kleenex facial tissue and Cottonelle toilet paper - from clearcut ancient forests every year.

Kleenex sponsored this yearâ??s Winter Olympic Games in Torino, Italy, promoting the companyâ??s "Kleenex Moments" ad campaign. Well, it takes 90 years to grow a box of Kleenex, and just a moment to throw one away, so I suppose I canâ??t accuse them of false advertising.

Too bad we couldn't use hemp to make those tissues. Wipe your snots and ass with your hand instead. haha.

Hey, how many trees you planted?
How many has "Insert Evil Corporation Here" planted?

Oh if you want real hipocrasy then read this:

A tissue of lies? at greenguysglobal.com (http://greenguysglobal.com/blog/a-tissue-of-lies)

The makers of Nouvelle (recycled tissue paper) are run by one of the most corrupt companies on Earth - Koch industries. If it wasn't twisted it would almost be funny.
