Urge National Geographic to use recycled paper

Urge National Geographic to use recycled paper

Target:
National Geographic
Sponsored by: 
National Geographic is a leader in raising awareness of world issues, including the growing global need for recycling.  Despite their knowledge they continue to print magazines on virgin paper.  Only the cover printed is on "recycled content paper"; a vague phrase which avoids naming the true percentage of recycled material.  Please sign below to encourage National Geographic to walk their talk and use 100% recycled paper in their magazine.

This is one of the two reasons my family canceled our subscription. The second reason was all the advertising by oil companies - a bit of a conflict of interest for a magazine which should be promoting the environment and sustainability.

This is a very good idea, and perhaps other book companies will follow suit from such a well known magazine such as yourselves. Thank you.

Dear National Geographic, I grew up with your magazines in my home and I still have copies dating back to the early 70s. I started subscribing to you again in 2005 but then stopped in 2006 because I was so appalled by the pharmaseutecal and oil ads in your pages. I also think it's really irresponsible and highly disappointing that you don't use recycled paper. Of all the organizations, you should be the most concientious because you see first hand the damage that is done to this earth by humans. What a shame. Syrie Wongkaew
