Several activists gathered to raise awareness of Kimberly-Clark’s forestry practices on November 3rd in Regina’s downtown. The group included people from all over Canada, as delegates from a youth conference took time to participate in the event despite the cold weather.
A large banner was deployed in the busy Scarth Street pedestrian mall, while the participants handed out flyers detailing the devastation of our ancient forests to produce an inherently wasteful product.
“It’s really too bad that people don’t consider where the products they use come from,” noted a local office
worker. The demonstrators received several other gestures of support and encouragement, though one apparently confused woman asked where she could get the free Kleenex.
Later, the banner was displayed in a congested intersection during the evening commuter rush, attracting positive reactions from car-trapped citizens.
