Nothing wrong with brown paper

I am appalled that the Department of Ecology is permitting Kimberly-Clark to increase by 10 percent the amount of byproduct it sends into Port Gardner Bay. They are taking the easy way out.

People will buy chlorine-free paper products if Kimberly-Clark et al will promote them and really educate the public. What’s wrong with a shade of guilt-free brown which hints at the makeup of these products?

And let’s start by demanding all public places (government buildings, schools, hospitals, restrooms) use paper products that are not manufactured using chlorine compounds. White is not synonymous with clean.

Jobs are important in this economy. But I also believe Kimberly-Clark can do a better job of decreasing pollutants.
