Forest Ethics - Five Actions, One World ForestEthics exists to protect Endangered Forests, wildlife, and human wellbeing. Our innovative, inspiring and effective campaigns challenge corporations and catalyze environmental leadership in industry, governments and communities. Our work focuses on solutions to protect Endangered Forests for generations to come.

ForestEthics believes that protecting forests is everyone's business. Because of our work, corporations and governments that respect the environment will thrive. Endangered Forests will be protected, and the communities that live in them will prosper through economic opportunities that do not depend on the destruction of these forests. Citizens across North America will have confidence that the paper and wood products they buy reflect their desire to create a better world for future

THE CAMPAIGN TO STOP JUNK MAIL
Junk mail does more than waste our time and invade our privacy: it also contributes to global warming and causes the destruction of Endangered Forests.

In 2003, Congress created the national Do Not Call Registry, the most popular consumer rights bill in history. Today, we need a comparable registry to end the onslaught of junk mail. Our goal is to establish a national registry—modeled after the landmark Do Not Call Registry—that will give us the choice to stop unwanted junk mail from entering our homes.

We're collecting names on a petition (65,000 and counting) to show our government and the direct mail industry that we want a national registry to give us an easy and comprehensive way to opt out of junk mail. We're also supporting state initiatives that will establish Do Not Mail registries for their citizens.

It's time we told junk mailing companies to stop junk mail. It's time to take our mailboxes back.
