GAA Environmental WorkshopJune in Bar Harbor, Maine, should be beautiful! The Gravure Association of America (GAA) chose it as the location for their Environmental Workshop, to be held June 17-19, at the Atlantic Oakes Resort. It also seems fitting that LL Bean - of Freeport, Maine - would be co-chairing the event. Who should attend? Publishers, catalogers, retailers, and printers seeking a deeper understanding of climate change in relation to the paper industry. Session titles include:
  • Climate Change and Linkage with Sustainable Forestry
  • Carbon Footprint of Paper
  • Status and Need for More Privately-Held Land to be Certified
  • University of Main "Forest Bio-products Research Initiative"
  • Voluntary Carbon Market and Consumer Protection
  • Paper Industry Focus on Climate Change
