Whenever possible, The Nature Conservancy uses 100% post-consumer recycled paper for its publications. In many cases, this paper is created using wind-generated electricity to further reduce emissions. A recent order of 896 pounds of paper for a conference on Mackinac Island saved the equivalent of not driving 448 or planting 28 trees. You too can conserve paper by signing up for the Great Places Newsletter.
