Over the past few years, women have made great strides in all areas of sustainability. For example, women hold key positions in large solar companies, are driving sustainability initiatives in Fortune 500 companies, and have started businesses that have greatly impacted the food industry.
There's still so much more to accomplish!

I have a strong interest in technology and the benefits it can bring to our lives, I do however have some reservations that technology is moving so fast that there are still too many glitches left in the advancements that will cause us problems in the long run.
I fear that we are relying on technology more and more, seeing an advert on the TV recently showing a car that actually parks itself is incredible but I do wonder if we humans will become so reliant on computers and technology that we will be paralysed if technology is suddenly whisked away from us by some catastrophic global tragedy.

Published on Feb 15 2011 in blog
Join us in San Francisco this month to meet Jeff Mendelsohn, CEO and Co-Founder of New Leaf Paper. He will share the story about New Leaf Paper and their commitment to the environment.
New Leaf Paper was founded in 1998 specifically with the mission of leading a shift toward sustainability in the paper industry. They were first to market with 100% post-consumer papers of unparalleled brightness and printing specifications, including the first-ever 100% post-consumer recycled coated papers, book publishing papers and more. Among many awards and distinctions for leading change with environmental practices within the paper industry, New Leaf Paper was one of the first 81 companies to become a certified B Corportation, making them a founding member. They joined this movement to help create a business community that is committed to the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility. With this transparent set of standards and processes, they are excited about the potential for B Corporations to help drive the growth and success of a business community that is accountable for its actions.
