We stopped buying a 'Koch Brothers' product yesterday at the grocery store.

[onehandle]

It was a Georgia Pacific product (A Koch Brothers's subsidiary) from this Wikipedia quote:

'Georgia Pacific paper and pulp company, maker of Brawny paper towels, Angel Soft toilet paper, Mardi Gras napkins and towels and Quilted Northern toilet paper.'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koch_Industries

If you use any of these, please find an alternative.


On edit: Botany provided a link to their product site. More listed here, much of which are fabric components and foreign brands:

4. I agree with your approach, BUT find it almost impossible to find

out whatall those products are! I did a google and did find some commonly used items, but I sure didn't know Koch Bros. had that big of an interest in GP! Walk through a Home Depot sometime and go to the lumber asile. EVERYTHING has the GP stamp on the side of the pallet. THAT's just the tip of the iceberg I'm sure. GP is enormous and has tenticles in many many areas.

First, I'd like to know what items ARE connected to the Koch Bros. Second, is that list sooo extensive, it's as difficult to avoid all those items as t is to BUY American made shoes!

10. Actually, Koch Brothers toilet paper works somehow

:evilgrin:

I do get your point about starving the beast, though. :-)

11. Well I can only use...

two brands of toilet paper... Angel Soft, and Cottonelle (for some reason I have a not so pleasant reaction to all others). I prefer Cottonelle, but will buy Angel Soft when it's on sale, it's always cheaper. I guess I'll stock up on Cottonelle when it goes on sale instead.

I don't use any of the other stuff, so that's not a problem.

18. How about using cloth rags for clean up?

And pay a little more for recycled paper toilet paper.

JK. Thanks for the info. I guess every little bit helps.
