Use Recycled Papers

As Global Warming becomes more of an issue, "Green" policies are
gaining ground. If you need any printing, please consider using recycled papers, & printing companies that have ISO 14001 or FSC accrediation.

There are excellent recycled papers out there such as Nine Lives & Revive, to name but a few.
