Not all tissue and paper towels are made from responsible sources. The toilet paper on your grocery store shelves may have a direct impact on the 400 Sumatran tigers left in the wild.
WWF set out to investigate the connection between U.S. toilet paper and tissue products and the destruction of tropical forests on the other side of the world.
WWF found that two brands sold in the United States― Paseo and Livi― are made with paper from Asia Pulp & Paper (APP), which is responsible for more forest destruction in Sumatra than any other single company. Paseo is a retail brand of toilet paper, paper towels, napkins and facial tissue, and it is now the fastest- growing brand of toilet paper in the United States, according to its marketer.1 Paseo and a sister brand, Livi, are also sold as “away-from-home” products to hotels, restaurants and other places with public facilities.
WWF contacted those companies to make them aware of the link between Paseo, APP and rain forest destruction and to urge these companies to stop sourcing these brands until APP changes its practices.
We do know that the safety of this earth also depends on how safety the jungle is. We do know that the jungle has become the main part of earth that is affect how the earth breathing, in fact, it is also affecting how people in all around the world get the fresh air for surviving. Animals deserve the same as the people do, they need to get the best place where they can survive and live harmoniously as an animal. Tiger in Indonesia has belonged to the animal’s category which is going to be extinct. You must be wondering why? It is because they have no enough comfortable places to live anymore. The distraction of jungles and forests causes the great impact for them. We can see that there are no more than four hundreds tigers in Indonesia which are left.
All we can do is supporting some organizations which have been rolling on the tiger conservation. It is essential for all people in Indonesia to get involve with the programs where they have a chance to protect the animal which are going to be extinct. The tiger conservation can be said as the largest program of conservation of the wild animal which will be hold for protecting this incredible animal from the extinction. Tiger has the main important role in keeping the jungle balance and safety enough, thus, the tiger conservation will be the best program that must be supported by all Indonesian, keep the tiger safe means keep the earth safe.
