This talk about recycled paper is all good…but because of the economy backsliding, the cost of manufacturing it is actually more expensive and might soon not be profitable to cities to even bother going into the undertaking. Finding cheaper ways to re-process paper so it can become more profitable is the key. Just my 2-cents.

Justin, many printer store sell better quality print paper that is eco-friendly. Also check out Mohawk papers (http://www.mohawkpaper.com/searchpaper/index.php). You can choose which type of green attributes you want. I am sure they can direct you to who sells their paper line. I know a printer in NJ who uses alot of their products.

I've started buying TP that uses some recycled paper. It's a little tough, but probably worth it. I also have used recycled printer paper, except for printing important stuff with specific paper requirements. Any thoughts? Justins last blog post..Obama's Green Team

Recycled paper is important, but let’s reduce paper use by stopping the junk mail that comes to our mailboxes — 41pounds a year. 41pounds.org offers a great last-minute Green holiday gift: the gift of a junk-free mailbox. The nonprofit 41pounds.org service stops your loved one’s postal junk mail – and keeps more trees in the forest providing oxygen for us to breathe and absorbing carbon to cool the planet. You can buy and send a gift certificate online at http://www.41pounds.org, or by phone. No wrapping paper, no shipping charges, no worries. The service covers everyone in your household for 5 years and costs $41.

As a green writer and lover of nature, it’s disconcerting to see the figures you cite…just for the US. In Canada, we are the world’s biggest producers of waste and it is a shame that we think that it will replenish itself.

Working on the reduction of consumption is certainly one side of the coin. But the consumer looks at the bottom line so the cost has to fit a “preconceived” price of what a product should cost.

The flip side – manufacturers and governments need to be more accountable for the products, systems, waste, bi-products, packaging, distribution and all other aspects of production. We vote the governments in so we have spoken…but we can still vote with our dollar when purchasing. Make the choice and make a difference.

I advocate green simple living.
