I tried to promote "Environmentally Friendly" printing whilst at Reprodux Printers, but was frustrated by a real willingness to invest in it, i.e. ISO 14001 certification. Most printers nowadays use vegetable based inks, & anyone can say "use recycled papers". Printers should walk the walk, not just talk the talk. For instance, what is their insulation like, do they use LPG fuuel fans for delivery, like Severn Print in Tewksbury I have a blog site, http://spencerprint.blogspot.com. Please take the time to browse the various articles I have posted. There are several on "Environmentally Friendly" printing, and I try to post as many as I can. Recent articles include a bio degradable form of laminate, & a paper mill that uses straw to make the paper. There are also spec shets posted on recycled papers. Lastly, I am also trying to promote "Environmentally Friendly Printing" on social networking sites such as You Tube & Blogspot. Examples are a "Talking Tree" video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfOhT3bxFYg and an "Angry Cat" at http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=2777671243677015621&hl=en-GB If you need any info on "Green" printing, please do not hesitate to call me on 01432 870528 After watching Al Gore's remarkable video, "An Inconvenient Truth", I realise that we need to change things and quickly. Global Warming will doom us all if we don't act sooner than later. The clock is ticking! I used to work for Reprodux Printers but have now formed my own printing agency in Holme Lacy Herefordshire.

Global Warming will doom us all if we don’t act sooner than later. The clock is ticking!
