February 2006
From Publishing Executive
Certification programs aim to slow global damage to forests and promote environmental responsibility. Here's a guide to help you choose which program is right for your environmental goals. Thirteen million hectares of forests are destroyed across the globe each year, the United Nations declared on Nov. 14, 2005. This number equates to well over 32 million acres—or an area roughly the size of Greece.

With members from over 70 countries and more than 30 national initiatives, the FSC-certification program sets high standards for protecting
It's Easy Being Green
January 2005
From Publishing Executive
The myths about environmentally preferable papers are being dispelled by a growing number of publishers, paper experts, suppliers and environmental advocates. Environmentally preferable papers, or ecopapers, are delivering what the market demands: choice and availability, high quality and cost-competitiveness. Ecopapers refer to papers with postconsumer recycled content, with cleaner manufacturing processes, and with virgin-fiber components that have been credibly certified as forest-friendly. Recently, Natural Health and part of Shape's circulation have joined the ranks of E/The Environmental Magazine and National Wildlife Federation's Ranger Rick by switching to a paper that is roughly 40-percent postconsumer recycled (PCR)—paper that has been previously used and recycled
