DESCRIPTION:In order to convince Staples to develop a paper procurement policy that 
 guarantees NO old-growth wood is sold at Staples, consumers, investors, and 
 students must make their voices heard! Below is a sample calling 
 "rap"\n\n"Hello, my name is ____ and I'm calling to ask that Staples 
 immediately stop the use of all old-growth fiber in its products and that 
 it adopt an old growth-free procurement policy that will permit the company 
 to assure its customers that no Staples product is made out of wood taken 
 from ancient or endangered forests. As one of the fastest growing office 
 supply companies in the world, I believe that you have a responsibility to 
 avoid destroying the world's few remaining old growth forests. Thank 
 you."\n\nOn Tuesday, students from Massachusetts and New Hampshire will be 
 visiting Staples corporate headquarters in Framingham, Mass. to deliver 
 over 4,000 postcards calling on Staples to end its use of old-growth paper 
 and fiber, and holding a press conference to alert people throughout the 
 northeast! Throughout the rest of the day Tuesday, hundreds of people in 
 towns and on campuses all over the country, from LA to Ann Arbor will be 
 calling in to Staples to help this message resonate within the 
 company!\n\nThis action is part of the ecopledge.com campaign; a nationwide 
 corporate environmental responsibility campaign that works to unite 
 students, investors, and consumers to convince corporations to make a 
 change in their business practices that is beneficial to the environment! 
 Over 70,000 people across the country have taken the pledge on-line, or in 
 their community at demonstrations. You can too by simply visiting 
 www.ecopledge.com. If you want more information, please contact Ross, the 
 Pacific Coast Field Organizer for the campaign to find out how you can
