Home Depot is the world's largest retailer of old growth rainforest
wood (wood from previously unlogged rainforests) After being targeted
by one of the most significant campaigns in the environmental
movement's history In New York, Wetlands, the Federal Lands Action
Group, and Rainforest Relief have been hammering home the message
that old growth destruction will not be tolerated with a hard
hitting campaign demonstrations and civil disobedience at Home
Depot store openings and as part of national days of action.
Recently Home Depot announced that they will phase out the sale
of wood from environmentally sensitive areas by 2002. While this
announcement is a MAJOR victory, we remain vigilant in order to
keep Home Depot to its word, and will be working to educate store
managers to facilitate the changeover to more sustainably harvested
wood.
