We live in Perry, Florida, a community where pine trees are "cooked and bleached" into cellulose from which P&G's disposable diapers are made. We have pulpmill-contaminated drinking water, a polluted Floridan Aquifer, the most polluted river in Florida, the Fenholloway River, two species of fish which are changing sex, three species of deformed insects, dioxin-contaminated fish and seafood, the extinction of the Suwannee cooter in the river, no frogs, no birds, the 57th worst air in the nation, many illnesses and diseases among the people, and ten square miles of dead seagrasses where the Fenholloway meets the Gulf of Mexico. In addition to using unsustainable forestry practices, the company has drained the water recharge area of the county, has dried up all the creeks, streams, and springs, and caused tremendous environmental damage in general. that's what it takes to make those disposable diapers in this article. We used to say "stop chlorine, save jobs", but after twenty-something years of trying to encourage P&G/Buckeye to clean up its mess, now our mantra is "Clean it up, or close it down". People and the environment here are suffering to a degree that P&G should be ashamed of - yet their profits dictate that our county remain a "sacrifice area". The cellulose produced here goes into P&G disposable diapers, sanitary napkins, filters, sausage casings, food additives, rayon, and many other products. Now the mill is getting rid of its toxic sludge by mixing it with mulch and selling it as a "soil amendment product" or compost for consumers to grow their gardens and tomato plants in, making a profit off their toxic waste at the cost of your health, not just ours in this poor, sad, sick community.
