Let’s hear it for
Minnie Mouse, who chained herself to the railings outside Disney
Headquarters. Actually she’s an activist for the
Rainforest Action Network in a rather cunning disguise.
Minnie was protesting
the fact that Disney–my publisher– had been using paper from endangered rainforests in
Indonesia for its books, possibly including ‘Mousenet.’ And the protest worked!!
Disney hadn’t realized where its suppliers were getting their paper until
Minnie told them, and from now on they’ll insist that it be from sustainable
sources. So ‘Mousemobile’ (due out next fall) will be environmentally
respectable.
