International Paper Launches Campaign Connecting Healthy Forests to Paper Use

MEMPHIS, TN—Dec. 1, 2010—“Go Paper. Grow Trees.” is a new awareness campaign launched by International Paper (IP) designed to give consumers the facts on how using paper products makes a direct contribution to the health and growth of trees and the forests. According to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO), a majority of the 750 million acres of U.S. forests are privately owned. These private owners—mostly family tree farmers—will ultimately determine what happens to our forestlands.
