Care for your body. It’s the only one you’ve got!
Care for the Earth. It’s the only one we’ve got!
Why use soy and water based inks and print on recycled or tree free paper?
Because producing one ton of paper from discarded waste paper uses half the energy,
half the water, results in 74 percent less air pollution and 35 percent less water pollution,
saves 17 pulp trees, reduces solid waste going to landfills, creates five times more jobs
than producing a ton of paper from virgin wood pulp and . . . .
EVERY TON OF RECYCLED PAPER SAVES:
• Approximately 17 trees
• 4,100 kwh of energy (enough to power
an average home for six months)
• 7,000 gallons of water
• 60 pounds of pollutants from
release into the atmosphere
If all printing companies used only soy-based inks, the U.S. could save
5-6% of our oil imports, about the amount of oil we imported from Iraq in 1989.
We use non-toxic inks and recycled paper because, in the long run, it helps everyone.
And that's what we're about helping make the world just a little bit better, every day.
To create an even better world we thought we needed a new bill of rights, a bill of rights
that responds to this century. Why have a new bill of rights? Because rights set priorities
and by putting these rights in writing everyone has something concrete to aim for,
With that in mind, we looked for and found a commercial bill of rights, and here it is:
• THE COMMERCIAL BILL OF RIGHTS •
1.The right to create the best products and participate
in processes that do not harm others;
2.The right to work in a clean, safe environment;
3.The right to a job that is meaningful, worthy, and constructive;
4.The right to work for companies that pay fairly;
5.The right to be told the truth about the company and its products;
6.The right to participate in critical and substantive decisions;
7.The right to not exploit people or other life forms.
