Cypress Mulch Threatens Gulf Coast
Gulf Restoration Network

It sounds like the plot of a cartoon…
Cypress swamps are clear-cut and entire trees are ground up to make cypress garden mulch. Wal-Mart, Home Depot, and Lowe’s are driving destruction of the Gulf’s best natural storm protection by selling cypress mulch all over the country. It’s time they stopped.
One of the most important actors in this tragic comedy is you. Once you’ve watched the cartoon, please help ensure a happy ending by using our action system to send an email directly to the CEO’s of all three companies. Then, if you show the clip to five friends, we’ll send you a little token of thanks.
