From readers of USA Today, to the CEO of Staples, to the government leaders of Chile and Canada, we’re changing people’s minds about what’s acceptable when it comes to the paper and wood products that we use every day. Our campaigns have been featured on CNN, CBC, the Today Show, National Public Radio, and in newspapers including the Globe and Mail, USA Today and The New York Times.
