Why you can't afford to miss this seminar:
The links between Global Warming and the Paper, Print and Graphic Design Industries start in the forest, one of the PlanetÇƒÙs great protections against Global Warming. The choice of paper that you sell, print , design and use can impact significantly on climate change and the loss of the earthÇƒÙs biodiversity. YOU can and do make a difference.
The significant growth in Corporate Environmental Responsibility practices has brought transformation in products, markets and acceptable practices in the paper industry. Yet few printers, designers or merchants have capitalized on the opportunities presented by these market transformations. Participants will be given a clear understanding of the key issues, the challenges and the opportunities.

Çƒ?My belief is that each one of us has an individual and collective responsibility to protect the environment, for our families, for our fellow human beings and for future generations.
That responsibility must be seen in our actions and in everything we do .
If the price appears high, let us understand that the cost of failure, may be unbearable.Çƒ?
