Better Paper Project offers a free webinar on sustainable publishing in the 21st century

Our friends at Better Paper Project will run on July 11, 1:00pm a free webinar on sustainable publishing. It's a 1-hour webinar and free - magazine publishers interested in getting greener are welcome to check it out. Here are some more details on the webinar:

You are invited to join the Green America Better Paper Project for this event, in recognition of your magazine’s efforts at improving paper consumption practices. This webinar will provide participants with information on existing tools and best practices to forward paper procurement policies and provide a snap shot and update on global forest hotspots, including the Great Bear Rainforest, Canada’s Boreal Forest and the rainforests of Indonesia.

Staff from Canopy will also join the Green America Better Paper Project to help answer questions on how to engage your suppliers and mills to promote lasting solutions that provide certainty both in terms of supply of environmental paper for your company, as well as ecological protection of our global forests.

Better Paper Project Webinar: What Makes Better Paper Better?

Are you confused by the variety of paper options? well, if you are, this webinar might be just for you.

I learned on the details from Better Paper Project, which is "a collaborative effort of magazine industry stakeholders to increase the use of environmental paper" with a mission "to foster collaboration between paper manufacturers, merchants, investors, businesses, nonprofits and consumers to achieve our vision and encourage the production of socially and environmentally responsible paper – Better Paper."

So here are the details on this webinar from their website:

Time: April 2, 2009 from 2pm to 3pm

Organized by: The Better Paper Project + EPN

Information: This month's Better Paper Project Webinar builds on January's event, "Building Blocks for Wise Environmental Publishing", with further discussion of both the problem of deforestation and the environmental paper solutions available to magazine publishers. The Environmental Paper Network (EPN) will be co-hosting this Webinar, explaining what makes better paper better and how to use the EPN’s Paper Steps from the What’s In Your Paper Web site.
