Dogwood Alliance

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dogwood Alliance is a network of over 70 groups around the southern United States working to achieve broad-based support to end unsustainable forestry practices in the region. The organization works in the marketplace to move large paper producers and customers away from sourcing their paper from endangered forests and towards increasing the use of post-consumer recycled fiber and other environmentally-friendly alternatives. Recent campaign victories include Staples, Office Depot, and Bowater[1] and the group is working to encourage fast food chains to change their practices.[2] Dogwood Alliance is based in Asheville, NC.
