Green Printing — Pulp (Non) Fiction: Fighting for Our Forests
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Recycling is an excellent starting point, but there are limits to recycling. Some papers drop out of the fiber stream, remaining in libraries, file cabinets and bookshelves. Fibers also degrade with reuse and, according to a study by Metafore, a non-profit group based in Portland, OR, if we didn’t add any virgin fiber to the fiber stream, we would run out of fiber in a matter of months.
