Ink & Paper Group and Publisher’s Association of the West (PubWest) will cohost a roundtable of Northwest independent publishers and sustainability experts concerned about implementing environmentally friendly practices. The event will be free to PubWest members and $10 to nonmembers. Anyone in a business related to publishing should consider attending. Master recycler Yvonne Garcia of Portland’s Office of Sustainable Development (Yes, that is her official title! Find out a bit more by going to Yvonne’s profile) will attend, along with other experts from the field of sustainable business practices. The discussion will be approximately an hour and a half long and will take place at Ink & Paper Group’s house in Southeast Portland. If the weather’s nice, we’ll gather on the veranda and sip a few cool drinks while we share ideas and best practices.

Stay tuned for an announcement of the time and date for the roundtable. See you there!
