id you know that for every 40 cases of 30% post-consumer*
recycled copy paper purchased, the equivalent of 8 full grown
trees are saved? Just by the simple act of buying recycled copy
paper instead of non-recycled paper, you save trees. That's why
Solana Recyclers started the Recycled Products Purchasing Cooperative
(RPPC) to create a market mechanism which will make the cost
of recycled paper less expensive so more businesses will use
it. They have made the ordering process easy and there's no fee
to buy through the Co-op businesses just get a customer card
that guarantees their discounted price.
Despite
their success in getting recycled copy paper to often be much
cheaper than non-recycled paper, the Co-op still needs help getting
the word out. That's where you can make a difference! If you,
a friend, or family member work for a business of any size, please
spread the news about the opportunity to save trees and money
by purchasing recycled copy paper through Solana Recyclers' Purchasing
Cooperative. Make this effort part of your personal Earth Day
efforts -- just tell a friend.
