Senior Executive Quote Regading Climate Change:

"Weyerhaeuser's 40 percent reduction in annual greenhouse gases is the equivalent of taking 700,000 vehicles off the road for one year. We will do this by harnessing the benefits of a renewable, natural resource -- biomass -- as fuel in the boilers that generate steam and electrical energy in our mills.

"In addition to substituting biomass fuel for fossil fuels, Weyerhaeuser will improve energy efficiency and install cleaner-burning boilers. This is a win-win for shareholders and the environment. Shareholders benefit from lower energy costs, and the environment benefits from lower emissions of greenhouse gases."
