Paper Project

Passing this on from [livejournal.com profile] ilythia in [livejournal.com profile] threadsofchange because I think it's worthwhile and something in which an easy e-mail speaking out in numbers will probably make a difference.


The Magazine PAPER Project
Printing Alternatives Promoting Environmental Responsibility


"Because less than five percent of U.S. magazine paper contains post-consumer recycled fiber, this country’s magazine industry gobbles up 35 million trees worth of paper each year. Co-op America’s Magazine PAPER Project is working to get more magazines onto environmentally preferable papers – and keep more trees standing in the forests where they belong."
Woodwise.org has a form e-mail that can be sent to show you would support Conde Naste publications switching to eco-friendly papers:take action simply through their site I just did. * If you subscribe to one of Condé Nast’s magazines, be sure to also mention which one. The company's publications include: Condé Nast Traveler, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Glamour, Vogue, Self, Allure, Lucky, Jane, Swoon, Teen Vogue, Bon Appetit, Gourmet, Brides, Modern Bride, House & Garden, Architectural Digest, Details, GQ, W, and Wired.


This site features this and many other 'Action Steps' - things you can do to encourage magazine publishers to be more environmentally responsible and to be more so yourself, a 'Campus Organizing Packet', and other information and ideas.
