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

It's easy enough. I would hope National Geographic would fix this problem. I can go without the glossy pages to save a few trees.

Love your magazine, and have since I was a child.(70, now.) I know folks save issues practically forever, and virgin paper probably saves better, but we really need to recycle, as you, more than most magazines, should know. Please be a leader on the issue, and use recycled paper. Thank you.

It is truly astonishing that a magazine with such a reputation for promoting nature would not also try to preserve it by using more recycled content in their product.

To the publishers of National Geographic; I add my voice to others who ask that future National Geographic Magazines be published using recycled paper. In a time when much focus is on our declining forests, magazines and other paper communications must step up their efforts to think 'green' and use those resources available which are environmentally friendly; recycled paper or, paper made from Hemp. We all have a responsibility to do our part to save the Earth's natural resources; National Geographic as a major international magazine which is considered the leading platform for speaking out on issues such as environmentalism and sustainability must lead the way by using more sustainable paper products. Not only will this save our precious trees, but also sends a very clear message around the world that recycling is an acceptable practise for EVERYONE! I urge National Geographic to begin the practise of using recycled or Hemp paper in all of their publications! Thank you. |
