Post-Paris: There is no Denying Clean Energy Future

The “stay” of the rule means that the EPA may not enforce the Clean Power Plan pending the resolution of the case on the merits. While the ultimate legal outcome is unclear at this point, what is very clear is that the pace and scale of the transition to a thriving, clean economy is now undeniable, irresistible, and inevitable.

Is Virgin Paper Good for the Environment?

When it comes to paper, what qualifies as a
sustainable option can mean different things to
 different people. Some consumers prefer a product 
that contains high levels of post-consumer recycled 
material. Reusing the wood fiber helps extend the life 
of this valuable resource, while saving landfill space.
 For others, the social, environmental and economic 
requirements of third-party forest certification like the 
Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) assure responsible forest management practices were followed. To these consumers, independent certificate on is the best way to ensure the world’s forests remain for generations to come.
