Two Sides UK Quick Fact Sheets Set The Record Straight
When it comes to the sustainability of Print and Paper, it is important to separate verifiable facts from opinions and misleading information. Fortunately, Two Sides (www.twosides.info) has the resources that can help.
Two Sides has posted seven new 1-page Quick Fact Sheets related to the sustainability of print and paper. Written in clear, easy-to-understand language and including citations to certifiable sources, these Fact Sheets make it easy to understand that print and paper have a great environmental story to tell.
Please feel free to share these valuable resources with colleagues, customers, students and local media. You can be part of Two Sides' efforts to end the harmful practice of "greenwashing" (using inflated, inaccurate, or misleading data to misrepresent environmental performance). The Quick Fact Sheets can be accessed below:
