Have a Heart, Stop Destroying Forests!

Yesterday, Wetlands activists Christian, Wendy, Blue (thanks folks!)
and I braved snow and frozen rain to tell J. Crew that we will stop
at nothing to protect our planet's forests from corporate forest destroyers.

Despite the harsh weather, people were very responsive, but the
weather and limited foot traffic made it difficult to collect names
on the Valentine's card shaped protest letters we intend to deliver
to J. Crew's CEO, Millard Drexler. So, we'll be back out at J. Crew
on Friday to collect more names on cards to deliver to our old
friend, Millard Drexler (former CEO of long-time Wetlands protest
target Gap, Inc!)

In December, eco-activists declared a major victory-- after two years
of campaigning, Victoria's Secret agreed to join Williams Sonoma and
Dell in committing to reform use of paper in its catalogs.

On Friday, Wetlands Activism Collective will be calling on J. Crew to
have a heart and stop destroying forests for catalogs -- unless it
wants to be shamed like Victoria's Secret was by eco-activists around
the country! We'll be visiting J. Crew's SoHo store to ask customers
to sign Valentine's cards calling on the company to show love for our
planet and stop destroying forests, and then we'll walk to J. Crew's
corporate office and deliver the Valentine's cards calling on the
company to stop destroying forests and then we'll walk to J. Crew's
corporate office and deliver the Valentines to corporate execs,
hoping that they'll share the love with our planet's endangered ecosystems.
