Greenpeace accuses APP of compromising the habitat of endangered animals such as the Sumatran Tiger. <\/strong>APP categorically states that this is not the case.\u00a0 “APP has set aside 261,930 acres of production forest to serve as the core of the Senepis Sumatran Tiger Sanctuary in the Riau province, a pioneering initiative that is a vital contribution to the survival of this species.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIt’s no wonder that APP is responding. Some international companies, such as Staples, Office Depot, and Woolworths (Australia), are reported to have have stopped buying or selling paper products connected to APP. Those are big numbers.<\/p>\n
Do I believe that huge global companies walk in a very gray area when it comes to profit and true sustainability? Sure. Everyone wants to be seen as green, but the truth is, on a global scale, it conflicts with profitability. On the other hand, environmental groups tend to walk on the edge, too, amplifying and twisting facts to suit their own agendas. The end justifies the means kind of thing.<\/p>\n
What’s the truth in this case? I have no idea. Readers will have to download the report and the press release and try to figure it out. I just wish everyone involved in the world of sustainability would follow the lead of our court system, which asks people to tell “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.”<\/p>\n
It would make things much easier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
