Trader Joe's...Corporate Responsibility

On the eve of a scheduled series of demonstrations at Southern California Trader Joe's stores, the privately-held company released a statement acknowledging that they are no longer issuing purchase orders to Weyerhaeuser for paper bags. The move follows the launch of BuyGoodWood.com, a Web-based initiative encouraging more American corporations to purchase environmentally ethical products while spotlighting Weyerhaeuser's destructive logging practices in Canada's Boreal forest and around the world.
