Staples cares about the environment and about the 
sustainability of our forests. We believe in recycling and offer more than 1,000 different recycled 
products through Staples.com, our catalogs and our stores. Staples is responding to the concerns of 
the environmental groups by examining how we do business and investigating ways we can be even more 
responsive to recycling and the environment.  We have communicated with virtually all of our paper 
suppliers and found absolutely no evidence of old-growth fiber in any of the products we sell. Both 
Staples staff and I will take your comments and concerns into consideration. 

Ron Sargent, Chairman and Chief Executive Office Staples Inc.

Thank you for your patience concerning this matter.

Go here to tell them that you want them to stick it to the environmental nazis and that you will continue to buy from them.

Uh, typically folks include their original email in posts like these. Staple's answering email makes no sense without that context.

Is this a cheese thread?

[Cyber Liberty]

It's gonna be if I don't get some context....

They didn't include my text in the reply. I wrote it on their email form at about 2AM. In a nutshell it said "Don't listen to the environmental groups, I have been buying from Staples for a few years and like it the way it is. If you give in, I cannot continue to buy from Staples."

Sounds to me like they told you that they don't care whether you buy there or not.
They sound like an environmentalist group answered your e-mail.

It sounds like they saw the word "environment" in your E-mail and sent you back a nice personal form letter.

Probably a 'bot replies to anything with eco-freak jargon in it.
