Timberland Teams With Greenpeace To Help The Rainforest

Submitted by A Natural Day on Friday, 28 August 2009No Comment

TropicalRainforestTimberland makes those great work boots, and now the company will help save the rainforest!

The company recently announced a “new policy agreement with Greenpeace that will ensure the leather used in its boots and shoes is not contributing to new deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest or to global warming.”

This policy includes setting a deadline for Timberland suppliers to “publicly commit to a moratorium on cattle expansion in the Amazon.”

For more information about this policy visit www.greenpeace.org/blog.
