Sammy Smartphone: On Tour to Talk About Forest Destruction!

Hello, Nashville!
Feb 11, 2012

Nashville is one of the most famous music towns in the world, so I decided to bring my message of forest destruction in the form of a song! Along with twelve of my friends from area high schools I visited a Verizon store in downtown Nashville to show off my tree chopping dance skills. Everyone in the store was wowed by our fancy footwork! And they were shocked to learn that Verizon has no policy to keep endangered forests out of my paper packaging (or any of the other mountains of paper products Verizon uses every day).

Good times in Music City, but they'll be better once Verizon stops destroying our forests—and then maybe I really could just be a Smartphone and not a Clearcut Smartphone.
