The Truth Hurts

I'm sick with the knowledge that my uninformed consumer behavior has been supporting a corporation owned by the Billionaire Koch Brothers, notorious anti environmental legislation supporters (Koch Industries outspends Exxon Mobil on climate and clean energy disinformation), climate change deniers, clandestine grass roots Tea Party supporters, anti-Obama legislation funders and outright awful polluters. They have reportedly cheated the Native American Indians out of millions of dollars through pipeline flow measurement "errors", and have been fined for many toxic spills, to name just a few things that make my blood boil and my stomach churn.

These products are manufactured by Georgia Pacific, and every purchase puts money into the coffers of men whose actions tell me they care not for the environment or their fellow man. Please help by boycotting their products with me.

Quilted Northern, Angel Soft and Soft n Gentle Toilet Paper
Vanity Fair, Mardi Gras and Zee napkins
Dixie cups, paper plates and bowls, and napkins


If you enjoy having your blood boil, or if you like sources for your information, here are just a few:

This list goes on. A brief Wikipedia search for Koch Brothers will tell you more than you probably care to know, especially if, like me, you have any of their products in your home. Charmin, you are my new best friend.


Thanks to Ms. Moon for opening my eyes to this information.
