<P>Costco is <STRONG>bulldozing the world’s largest remaining
forests.</STRONG></P>
<P>Why? To make luxury <EM>toilet paper.</EM></P>
<P>Loggers are sawing the forest down at a terrifying rate. The
boreal forest covers over half of Canada and it’s home to hundreds
of indigenous communities and billions of animals. <STRONG>But
instead of bird song and the buzzing of insects, all you can hear is
the howling of chainsaws.</STRONG></P>
<P>Costco bosses are desperate to keep this under wraps.
<STRONG>They need next week's annual shareholder meeting to go down
without hiccups.</STRONG></P>
<P>That’s where you come in. With your donation, we can get our team
of Boreal activists there, at the meeting. <STRONG>We’ll put
ourselves in front of every TV camera -- and every shareholder
entering the room. Costco won’t stand a chance at hiding its
forest-destroying ways.</STRONG> But to get the team there is
expensive and I’m worried that without your help, this <EM>huge</EM>
moment could pass us by.</P>

will you chip in $1 to save this pristine forest from becoming
toilet paper?</A> </P>
<P>Toilet paper is the number one biggest seller for Costco. But in
its hunger for profit, Costco uses wood from mature forests and
tries to claim it’s “sustainable”.</P>
<P>If we don’t save the boreal forest from Costco's greed,
<STRONG>we don’t have a fighting chance against climate
change.</STRONG> <STRONG>The carbon released when these forests are
destroyed is devastating -- producing toilet paper from virgin wood
is worse than driving gas-guzzling SUVs.</STRONG></P>
<P>So far, Costco is refusing to use mostly recycled materials. You
and I know that’s not only ludicrously greedy, but reckless for the
planet we all call home. <STRONG>You can bet many of Costco’s
shareholders won’t be feeling proud of this reputation.</STRONG>
They don’t want the company to be infamous for its eco-destruction
-- they just need a push from you to take a stand.</P>
<P>You can make that happen. <STRONG>Your donation will get me and
other dedicated Boreal activists to the meeting.</STRONG>
Shareholders and execs won’t be able to hide from the truth of their
grotty business. They’ll know their reputation -- and profits -- are
under threat.</P>
<P><STRONG>Can you send an urgent donation so we can crash Costco’s
AGM?</STRONG></P>

<P>We know when we come together we can make corporations do the

Starbucks to start using 100% recycled paper cups.</P>
<P>And members like you forced McDonald's to commit to a
deforestation-free palm oil policy. <STRONG>When we expose the ugly
side of corporate giants -- like Costco -- they take action to
protect their brand. And in doing so we score a massive victory for
our planet, and the animals we share it with.</STRONG></P>
