Windpower Paper  E-mail
Monday, 31 July 2006

Art students everywhere can now get sketch, drawing, and bristol paper that is made by 100% windpower. The company behind the Windpower series is Strathmore, and they've beat everyone to the punch by creating the first line of paper in the U.S. that uses windpower exclusively.
 
Even better, the price (which my art student friends will argue is high enough) is not affected, nor is functionality or quality of the paper. And the payoff is huge for the environment -- the windpower efforts have resulted in 13 million lbs of toxic air emissions not generated and 94,500 trees not cut down.
