EEPN has a new co-ordinator

Some of you will remember Mandy Haggith, who was the co-ordinator of the EEPN from the early days, when we wrote our common vision together, until 2009. She’s back.

The European Environmental Paper Network has been ably guided through the past couple of years by Daniel Hausknost, and we are all sorry to see him go and grateful for his great work, including setting up this beautiful new website.

The position of co-ordinator has once again been taken up by Mandy Haggith. Mandy says, ‘I’m really excited to be back co-ordinating the environmental paper network in Europe. We have an ambitious vision for transforming the paper industry to be truly sustainable and ethical, and there still seems to be some work to be done to bring it to reality. I’m looking forward to working with everyone in the network again to help achieve our vision.’

With a new co-ordinator at the helm this is a good opportunity to reflect on where we are heading, and at the Forest Movement Europe meeting in Portugal at the end of April we will be renewing our commitment to the vision and setting priorities.

Please contact Mandy if you would like to feed into this process. See the Contact Page for her details.

MandyI am the co-ordinator of the European Environmental Paper Network and the author of 'Paper Trails: from trees to trash - the true cost of paper' published by Virgin Books. I joined the network in 2005, when we wrote the Common Vision. I am passionate about the need to increase the value of paper in European society while decreasing the volume that is used, so that we consume no more than our fair share of the planet's forests, water and air. I'm also a keen lobbyist for improved ethics in the paper industry.View all posts by Mandy
