Surrey, BC is surrounded by areas of great beauty, none as beautiful as the acres and acres of natural forest. Sadly, many forests are being depleted quicker than they can be replanted. Printing companies can help to conserve these forests by making sure that they only use forest-certified and recycled papers.
Canopy is a non-profit organization with offices in Vancouver and Toronto, their mission is to “protect the world’s forests, species and climate” by working with businesses and the community to help them develop more environmentally-friendly practices. Neva Murtha, the Second Harvest Campaigner for Canopy, has written an article called Ten Tips to put Your Business at the Forefront of Forest Conservation which suggest ways that businesses can become more environmentally friendly in their paper use. Those tips are:
1. Only buy forest-certified and recycled papers
2. Set targets as to when you will change all of your papers
3. Make sure that all the suppliers you use have developed environmentally friendly practices
4. Learn how to convince your clients to use environmentally friendly papers
5. Offer forest-certified and recycled papers for the same price as regular papers
6. Support forest conservation agreements and campaigns
7. Dedicate yourself to changing the industry to become more environmentally friendly
8. Recycle all your paper waste and distribute it within North America
9. Make your company completely environmentally friendly
10. Develop an eco-paper policy
Using environmentally friendly papers will help to ensure that the forests that we enjoy today will be around for our children and grandchildren to enjoy.
