On Wednesday, September 12th SVC welcomed New Leaf Paper’s Deb Bruner to tell us all about Recycled Paper, Soy Ink, and Al Gore. Deb had a number of great resources to share with us, and here (ta da!) they are:
www.conservatree.org
Conservatree has a comprehensive site covering recycled papers, fiber sources, inks, listings of papers, and much, much more. This is a fabulous resource!
www.greenpressinitiative.org
Green Press Initiative is primarily focused on the book publishing sector, but this is a great resource for inquiring minds. Sign up for their seasonally emailed newsletter and peruse their website pages for all sorts of info.
www.marketsinitiative.org
Based in Canada, Markets Initiative has been a powerful NGO that has caused major transformations in purchasing practices in just 6 years. They focus on the book, magazine, and newspaper sectors, but are a terrific resource for anything related to forestry, including FSC news, logging practices, and much more. MI was instrumental in getting the Harry Potter books published on recycled paper!
www.coopamerica.org
This group is focused on consumers and covers a wide range of topics – not just paper. Look to Co-op America for all sorts of eco-related news.
www.edf.org
The Environmental Defense Fund works in a number of areas as you’ll see from their website. They have focused on paper issues in the past with their paper task force.
