Houston Becoming a Green Power Glutton - http://renewablesenergy.net/solar-energy/houston-becoming-a-green-power-glutton-2/   Texas is an energy enigma. It’s oil country, but there’s more wind power in the state than anywhere else in the U.S. It’s sunny, but has been slow to embrace solar on a big scale. And then there’s Houston, a town built on fossil fuels if there ever was one, now...green-e, Houston, nrg energy, reliant energy, renewable energy credits

Check out this whitepaper from Sophizio

Choosing to Become a Leader of Sustainability

By Martine Padilla and Mary Ann Fong 

This whitepaper was developed for a presentation given at the Print Buyers International Conference held in Chicago in September 2011.  It is a comprehensive overview of sustainability aimed directly at the graphic communications industry.  The authors walk through six steps for implementing a sustainability program while providing great examples and key resources along the way.

Take note of their inclusive position regarding responsible forestry certification standards (SFI and FSC) and reference to GreenBlue and the Green-e re:print program.

About the authors:

Martine Padilla is a major driving force behind the Sustainable Green Printing  Partnership (SGP) and a true champion for sustainability in the print industry.

Mary Ann Fong spearheads sustainable print initiatives at Temple University and also serves on the board of the SGP.

While not explicit in the video, the Green-e standard also certifies biomass as a renewable energy source.  The recovery boilers at our Somerset and Cloquet facilities are both certified and as such we offer McCoy, Opus and Flo (sheets only) as products made with 100% certified renewable electricity.

With over 85% of our total energy from renewable resources, we have worked hard to get off fossil fuels and lower our carbon footprint.  Learn more abour renewable energy and see how we stack up against the industry average in Chapter 2 of our eQ Tool.
