Paper Vapour event on link between paper and climate change

0

Did you know that the carbon emissions from paper production, use and disposal exceed the emissions from the aviation industry? We call these emissions paper vapour.

The EEPN is organising a seminar in London on 9 July to explore the links between paper and climate change. It will include the latest research into paper’s carbon footprint and presentations on paper efficiency from public and private sector organisations. This event will make clear why paper efficiency must be a key part of every organisation’s climate change strategy. To find out more see here: shrinkpaper.org/paper-vapour/

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
