			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From time to time, I come across interesting websites, helping to spread the message that we all need to conserve. Some of these resources are wonderful for graphic designers who wish to design &#8220;Greener.&#8221; Since we work with our clients to produce quite a lot of promotional materials, packaging, advertising, posters and more, we all need to do our part to institute eco-friendly design &amp; printing techniques.</p>
<p>Here are a few resources I&#8217;ve discovered:</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.unisourcegreen.com" target="_blank">Unisourcegreen.com</a></strong> &#8211; A <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16px; font-size: 12px;">resource for environmentally-friendly products and specialized services distributed by Unisource Worldwide, Inc., providing a GREEN advantage. Visit us often as Unisource expands our green products and services.</span></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.inhabitat.com" target="_blank">Inhabit</a></strong> &#8211; Greening Graphic Design &#8211; <span style="color: #008000;">From their site:</span> <em>&#8220;<strong>The green path of the future involves getting intimate with your favorite printer.&#8221;</strong></em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;&#8230;While we wish it were as simple as specifying ‘recycled’ paper and soy inks, we were surprised and delighted to learn that the greenest printers and print technology innovators have moved beyond false promises of simple cure-alls. Instead, each link in the supply chain is coming forward with their own sustainable solutions, from Processless Printing Plates to eliminating the use of VOCs in inks and coatings.&#8221;</em></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.ecofont.eu" target="_blank">Ecofont</a></strong> &#8211; I first read about this new font in <strong>National Geographic</strong>, and thought this was a great idea, so I visited the website and downloaded the font.<br />
<span style="color: #008000;">From their site:</span><em> &#8220;Appealing ideas are often simple: how much of a letter can be removed while maintaining readability? After extensive testing with all kinds of shapes, the best results were achieved using small circles. After lots of late hours (and coffee) this resulted in a font that uses </em><a style="color: #5a9735; text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.ecofont.com/results.html" target="_blank"><em>up to 20% less</em></a><em> ink. Free to </em><a style="color: #5a9735; text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.ecofont.com/downloads_en.html" target="_blank"><em>download</em></a><em>, free to use. There is also a print solution for business environments: </em><a style="color: #5a9735; text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.ecofont.com/en_pro_ecofont_professional.html" target="_blank"><em>Ecofont Professional</em></a><em>.&#8221;</em></p>
