Members of the University of Chicago Environmental Concerns Organization delivered a singing telegram to Kimberly-Clark Board member Linda Johnson Rice's receptionist, Helena Boyd. The video is difficult to see so please focus on the audio.
Boyd was so impressed, she promised to deliver a letter to Linda Johnson Rice, and asked for a copy of the video footage from the event to share with Rice.
This activity is the latest in a series of creative events at Johnson Publishing Company headquarters in downtown Chicago aimed at opening a constructive dialogue with Ms. Rice about Kimberly-Clark's unsustainable logging practices in the Boreal forest. Previous activities included a performance of our own interpretation of Dr. Seuss's "The Lorax."
The lyrics are as follows:
kimberly-clark,
cutting down the trees,
they'd clear-cut an old growth forest,
to wipe up my sneeze.
well,
i guess you'd say,
how can kleenex change its ways?
linda,
linda,
linda,
will you recycle,
linda?
