There are many ways to plan your District publication in a way that will reduce its effect on both the environment and your budget. Your choice of paper is one of the more significant factors in making your document environmentally smart.
Many papers contain no recycled fiber.
Always choose a paper stock that can be recycled after use. Don't mix grades of paper within your publication. If you choose newsprint for the inside pages, do not make a glossy cover. The heavy dyes used in these papers require more detergent, bleaching and water to recycle than white paper. It's paper fiber that has been used by a consumer, collected through a recycling program, and returned to a paper mill.
