Green My Parents, which was launched on this year's Earth Day, shows kids how their families can save more than $100 a year through efforts such as turning off and unplugging devices that waste electricity, printing responsibly and choosing to walk or bike instead of driving. Domtar will be the exclusive paper and forestry partner for Green My Parents.
Advertisements will appear in major U.S. and Canadian media outlets, including: The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Globe & Mail, Fast Company, Audubon, National Geographic and other consumer and trade publications. The campaign will also feature online banner ads and a series of short videos that will appear in a variety of online media.
Domtar will make an annual contribution of $350,000 to WWF from the sale of its EarthChoice products, with the licensing agreement now covering all papers in the line, including office paper. Domtar also participates in WWF's Global Forest & Trade Network, an initiative to eliminate illegal logging and improve the management of valuable and threatened forests.
