Welcome to the Greenerprinter Blog

Green is given.

This is our starting point. The scientific case for climate change – and our responsibility for it – has been made. In 2007, a U.N. Panel of over 1200 scientists from 130 countries issued a report concluding that climate change is real, and we will all be affected by it. In testimony at the end of February before the House Ways and Means Committee, a geochemist with the Union of Concerned Scientists confirmed again the importance of regulating emissions, especially since the ocean is reaching its limit of absorbing carbon.  Even the EPA is now considering regulating carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

So what does this mean for printers and print buyers? Like all other businesses – and individuals – we need to make changes. At Greenerprinter, we’ve been working on this. We began offering recycled paper and soy inks exclusively years ago to help businesses and individuals incorporate their green values into their printing. And in our own operations, we are certified as a Green Business, and we offset our carbon emissions.

But this isn’t enough, and we know it. The question for us is: what’s next?

We hope that our blog can serve as a forum in which we can all share our ongoing efforts to become more sustainable, as well as provide resources and information about green printing. We welcome your thoughts about the challenges and opportunities that you have encountered on your own green journey!
