SEED said the protest is to urge Blockbuster to stop using Boise Corporation office products.

SEED calls Boise, "America's worst logging company," saying Boise has continued to log and distribute old-growth and endangered tree products.

"Students should go to this because old-growth forests and endangered forests are destroyed by Boise with money from Kent State and Blockbuster," Mike Pesa said.

Pesa, a member of SEED, said Blockbuster is one of the largest consumers of Boise products and said the group wants the store to cancel their contract with the corporation until Boise stops distributing old growth tree products.

A rally will be held at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Student Center, followed by a march to Blockbuster.

The group said the rally will be part of nationwide protests against stores who use Boise products.

Undergraduate Student Senate, at the urging of SEED members, passed a resolution encouraging all of Kent State to stop using Boise products last month. The resolution said office products used at Kent State should be, "environmentally responsible products that are reasonable in cost."

According to Boise's Web site, the company is committed to conservation and the environment.

"Everything we do at Boise depends on the health of the environment," the Web site states. "That's why one of our highest priorities is to manage, conserve and sustain the natural resources used in our businesses."

Pesa called Boise's claims of supporting the environment "a PR makeover."

"They import massive quantities of old-growth trees," he said. "These are important trees because they provide a unique habitat and can't be replaced."

Pesa said if the United States attacks Iraq before Thursday, the group will postpone the protest.
