Your toilet or tissue paper may be contributing to extinction of tigers

By PF Louis A group known as Asia Pulp and Paper (APP) is largely responsible for the decimation of half of Sumatran and other Indonesian rain forests since 1985. These rain forests were the natural habitats for tigers. Activists with World Wildlife Fund (WWF) are clamoring for grocery and other store chains carrying paper products to boycott APP. The WWF activists focus on the preservation of wild animals, including tigers, elephants, and other endangered species. A century ago, over 100,000 tigers existed in the world. Today there are around 3200. The WWF group managed to track down 20 outlets across the USA who had used paper products from APP during 2011. They have succeeded with having eight large retail chains agree to stop carrying APP paper and tissue products, such as Paseo toilet paper and Livi paper products.
