The phrases used are always very similar, the kind of pattern that almost shouts, ”spam campaign.” This kind of nameless attack isn’t in the open spirit of blogs, and we think it’s a disservice to readers and to our hard-earned reputation. The simple fact is that we make our products in a manufacturing system designed to minimize our environmental impact.<br />We invite the person making these attacks to come pay us a visit; we have nothing to hide! We think our actions speak for themselves; otherwise, why would a group like the NRDC cite our factory in a discussion of companies leading the way environmentally in the New York metro area? (http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/egoldstein/green_apples_and_bad_apples_nr.html).<br />Marcal didn’t recently “paint itself green.” We’ve been using recycled paper since 1950, long before green was in. As for the lawsuit, it was settled with no admission of wrong doing, enabling the company to emerge from bankruptcy to protect and grow jobs under a new owner and management team that understands that, if you are going to market yourself as green, you better do things right.<br />Are we perfect? Of course not, but we are always striving to be better. We invite anyone with questions about our practices to contact us at ecofacts@marcalpaper.comEcofactshttp://marcalsmallsteps.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010541311574998812.post-2346038474063042842010-03-17T14:38:06.554-04:002010-03-17T14:38:06.554-04:00We&#39;re using their white dinner napkins right now and have been this past month. They work great and it&#39;s great to be doing at least something small for the environment.lfhpueblohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01860942907478830438noreply@blogger.com
