Susan Kinsella is Executive Director of Conservatree, www.conservatree.org.
Conservatree is an environmental nonprofit organization dedicated to providing
practical tools, technical assistance and realistic strategies for successful environmental
paper purchasing and market development. It was founded in 1976 as the for-profit
Conservatree Paper Company, the paper merchant that partnered with manufacturers
to jump-start the markets for recycled paper in North America. Conservatree
introduced the first recycled versions of almost all the printing & writing grades,
including the first recycled content copy paper. It ended paper sales in 1994 and
converted to a nonprofit education and advocacy organization in 1998. In 2002, Susan
Kinsella initiated the founding of the Environmental Paper Network (EPN) and
continues to serve on its Steering Committee.
The Environmental Paper Network, www.environmentalpaper.org, accelerates
environmental transformation in the pulp and paper industry through coordination and
collaboration of a strong and diverse coalition of nonprofit non-governmental
organizations.
This White Paper was produced in collaboration with EPN's RePaper Project, which
includes representatives from Canopy, Conservatree, ForestEthics, Green America,
National Wildlife Federation, and the Natural Resources Defense Council.
