-- Quote of the Day --
"There is no calamity which a great nation can invite
which equals that which follows a supine submission to wrong and injustice and
the consequent loss of national self-respect and honor, beneath which are
shielded and defended a people's safety and greatness."
~ Grover Cleveland

From Japan for
Sustainability (japanfs.org) Fuji Xerox Co has developed a bio-mass plastic
using inedible wood-derived and woody cellulose, a plastic that does not
interrupt the food chain and utilizes waste from the food and forest industries
that are difficult to compost. They are currently in the testing phases for the
applications of the newly designed material. But they are saying that because
the materials it is made from are so readily available ā the new bio-plastic
can be made anywhere and therefore can reduce fossil fuel and related emissions
from transport.
According to the Recycling
Product Newsletter (http://rpn.baumpub.com), Xerox Canada has designed a new
program that allows consumers to recycle spent imaging supplies ā Xerox is seen
as a leader in the industry for sustainability and recycling programs for more
than a decade ā averaging 5.5 million kilograms of recyclable waste per year.
This new program is expected to divert as much as 673 thousand additional
kilograms of waste from landfills.
