Evicting Sears from Endangered Forests
Members of the Boston Coalition for Sustainable Logging went to the Sears at the Cambridge Galleria in Cambridge, MA on Saturday. Six of our members dressed as lawyers, and approached a manager with an "eviction notice" written up on a big poster. We took a picture with her and gave her a flyer, then explained that we were there representing ForestEthics, urging them to get out of endangered forests and use recycled paper for their catalogs. She was very angry that we'd taken the picture, but she did take the flyer, and she encouraged us to mail information to the store--which we will.
Thanks for organizing this on a larger scale! And I hope we go after Sears next--it's really easy to get around their store, and we could conceivably talk to all the customers and spread lots of flyers before they'd manage to get us all to leave.
