A national campaign has been launched against Victoria's Secret and parent company Limited Brands for their leading role in forest destruction. San Francisco-based ForestEthics is directing actions and demonstrations by grassroots environmental groups across the US, as well as launching an advertising campaign and a website, Victoria's Dirty Secret, challenging the retailer to use recycled and sustainably harvested paper, and to stop using paper from the world's last remaining endangered forests. Victoria's Secret prints 395 million catalogues each year, which is over one million catalogues each day, which are predominately printed on virgin paper from endangered forests.
