BREAKING: Green groups @standearth @NRDC are calling out @ProcterGamble's #ItsOurHome campaign for ignoring protection of the climate-critical boreal forest & threatened species habitat in Canada, where the company sources huge quantities of fiber stand.earth/latest/forest-… #cdnpoli

This Bloomberg article includes critiques of @ProcterGamble's #ItsOurHome campaign: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

"Direct emissions make up a small fraction of P&G’s total greenhouse-gas footprint. The rest of the emissions account for more than 98% of its annual total." @akshat

"Talking about 'nature as a climate solution' while supporting clearcutting of vast swaths of primary forest in Canada to make toilet paper is the ultimate greenwash. @ProcterGamble can’t protect forests in one location while hammering them in another." @standearth #ItsOurHome

"@ProcterGamble needs to get its own house in order when it comes to solving the climate emergency, and not simply outsource its sustainability." @NRDC #ItsOurHome

Sooo @ProcterGamble's #ItsOurHome would protect places “rich in carbon” such as the mangroves in the Philippines, while ignoring the fact that the boreal forest in Canada is the largest intact forest on the planet, making it vital to mitigate the worst impacts of #climatechange.
