It seems like only yesterday that I was figuring out how to blog.  Believe it or not, up until early this year, I thought blogs were just online diaries of bored teens!  I like to think I’ve learned a lot the past few months.  I have had such a fun time with this blog and love learning so many new things related to Sustainable Printing.  In honor of my achievement, I’m going toot my own horn a bit and list the 10 posts I am most proud of.

Today on Sustainable Printing, I continue my 10 part series on Ways to Find a Sustainable Printer. I will focus on a new area of sustainability with each post to help print buyers find a green printer whose efforts are rooted in environmental awareness.  By digging a little deeper into your printer’s practices, you’ll be able to determine if you found a truly sustainable printer.  Last week I posted about your printer’s recycling and waste management system, but today I will focus on other internal green practices that sets an eco-friendly printer apart.

Just today, I signed up for a free webinar offered through Paper Specs and sponsored by Neenah Paper.  Decoding Green Paper will dive into the world of paper options for eco-friendly printing.  From defining all the acronyms (PCW, FSC, TCF, etc.) to discussing alternative fiber sources, Decoding Green Paper promises to be a learning experience for anyone interested in environmentally sound paper choices for any type printing.

Sustainable Printing has barely skimmed the surface of all the varieties of paper available to eco-conscious print buyers.  I will certainly do a write up after the webinar of what I learned, but you can attend too!  Decoding Green Paper is open to the public and completely free.  Just click on the link at the beginning of this post and sign up!
