FW: Re: Green criteria for print material

Tim:
I was glad to learn of your initiative to establish green criteria for print material. More municipalities should be doing what you are doing. Here is some more information that may be of interest to you. Corporate Knights (www.corporateknights.ca ) recently released their Forestry Issue. One of the sites in the Friends of the Forest Links, page 12, http:// www.environmentalpaper.org features a purchasers guide for environmentally responsible purchasing in the tools section of the site. Here at C2P2 we have made an effort to support only purchasing FSC stock paper from printing companies who have been recognized through various Canadian environmental award programs. The Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment Pollution Prevention Awards Program have recognized several printers in the last few years include Warren's Waterless Printing (Toronto, ON)-www.warrenswaterless.com and Clean Choice Printers (McDonalds Corner, ON)-www.cleanchoiceprinters.com. The Canadian Printing Industry also recognizes environmental printers through an Awards program-visit www.printaction.com . Finally, the Environmental Choice program in Canada has established criteria for printers. They can be found at: http://www.environmentalchoice.com/English/ECP%20Home/Products%20 -
