Whole systems thinking, includes facts such as:
The most recent EPA data show that pulping and papermaking stands second only to oil refining as a producer of nitrogen and sulfur oxides. Printers, meanwhile, take the silver behind big steel's gold standard for carbon-monoxide emissions. Armed with these two facts at your next client meeting, maybe it won't be so hard to get buy-in after all.
EPA's report that airborne emissions account for 99% of the printing industry's toxic releases easily gives atmospheric issues precedence as the foremost print-ecology consideration. Unfortunately, users in a small to medium office setting have relatively few options for safeguarding indoor air quality beyond providing adequate and, if possible, separate ventilation for conventional office printers.
However, one choice stands out far above any other. Originally developed by Tektronix in the early 1990s, Xerox's line of Phaser solid-ink color printers are free of solvents or hazardous chemicals, emit no odors or fumes and generate miniscule amounts of solid waste, unlike typical color lasers. Phasers start at $1,000. Xerox also operates a FreeColorPrinters program, which hinges on participants agreeing to a sole source of ink and minimum monthly usage levels.

It's preferable on my part to be reading these type of articles... I mean correct me if I'm wrong, reading something like this coming from a person who is well educated on the topic makes it more interesting to read. I can tell you that it is really great that you know your material. Focus on one trade, focus on everything that is tied to it, make a chart of what you need to know. And then, only then will your article come out as great as this one. You can really feel the quality of this article
