Motorola Connects
"The Journey to a Sustainable
World" (let's hope we get there soon) is the name of the environmental progress report issued by Motorola. This 1999 corporate environmental statement is printed on 100% kenaf tree-free, chlorine-free text and cover paper.

The four-color design work is outstanding (thank you t-squared design - tsquared@hotbot.com), and the publication is a perfect example of corporate commitment to doing the right thing. We do not have any extra copies to give away, but if you contact Sheila Voth at sheila.voth@motorola.com maybe you can talk her into sending you a copy.

Energy Adds Energy
Even the United States Department of Energy is getting into the act. As a part of their push for Environmentally Preferable Purchasing, they printed the "You Can Make A Difference" posters on Re:Vision kenaf/recycled paper. The posters were distributed to DOE facilities nationwide. DOE has also published the long awaited "Pollution Prevention Reduces Waste, Saves Money, and minimizes our footprint on the Earth" publication on kenaf paper.
