Printed on Recycled Paper

[cos]

You've probably seen some things that say "printed on recycled paper" in small print at the bottom.

The Greenpeace free drink tickets at tonight's reception at Netroots Nation say:

Printed on 100% PCW Recycled Process chlorine-free paper using vegetable based inks on a wind powered press.

Take that.

P.S. Fun aside, it's really nice that the Pittsburgh convention center has clearly labelled paper and plastic/glass recycle bins next to every trash can, and the box lunches they served us came in compostable dishes & boxes. Also I hear they use air from the basement to cool the convention hall.

Is there any room left for the word "Drink"?

[cos]

Not only that, they even had room for the word "Greenpeace"

credo's phone bills say about the same thing, without the wind power.

I think the wind powered press was the capping detail that made me post this :)

Did the Pittsburgh convention center have compost bins as well? The compostable stuff is cool, but if it ends up in the trash it doesn't compost (compost is an aerobic process - it requires oxygen for the bacteria to break things own), so it's mostly just good that it's not plastic.

They were collecting them in big blue rolling compost dumpsters which they must've had somewhere useful to take.
