  1. Friday. Blood pressure's 194/105. No food in house, tired of talking CO2 and must ponder the next steps for the task force. So bis montag...
  2. If they do what they say they'll do we'll have versions of our survey in French, Finnish, Italian, Swedish and Romanian. How cool is that!
  3. Forging ahead with survey Germany's industry assoc says no to publicising it! Tell German printers to go to www.surveymonkey.com/s/GG5X8RQ.
  4. Our Verdigris environmental survey complete and ready to launch. Major european industry associations supporting it, except for the Germans.
  5. The CO2 task force is coming along. 14 members. If you want to join contact caroline.tyler@bsigroup.com and ask how to participate. Thanks!
  6. Shrinkpaper.org say the paper industry is growing! The FSC say the limits on preconsumer waste paper thingy is under review. Facts vs NGOs?
  7. Getting the final polish on our Verdigris survey. Go to http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GG5X8RQ and let me know any thoughts. Going live soon.
  8. We've people from 4 countries in the CO2 footprinting task force (TC130 TF1), including US. Interested? Contact national standards bodies.
  9. Intergraf, the int'l association of print industry associations, is now a member of the carbon footprinting for print products task force.
  10. Pity Thanksgiving's on a Thursday. I mean to remember every year. I always forget this wonderful thing, a celebration just to say thank you.
  11. Awaiting response from FSC Int’l as to why a printer can claim just 15% preconsumer waste as recycled and what we can do to get it raised.
  12. Feeling sorry for Wayne Manning who appears to have lost his job. Will miss his loyal and stalwart support for the Verdigris project........
  13. www.reduisonsnosdechets.fr/ a dedicated site for reducing waste. The French printers' assoc is part of a national campaign to reduce waste.
  14. Wishing the whole world would see this: http://bit.ly/IMiE0 a wonderful message, with perfect background music. Wonderful!!!
  15. Guido van der Werf (Free Univ of Amsterdam) says tree felling causes 12% of anthropic CO2 emissions, not 20% as conventional wisdom has it.
  16. Pondering how to build this ISO Task Force. Needs people who know print and who know environmental science. Are there such people out there?
  17. Working on a survey of printers’ green awareness, to be out by year end. Results to be published at IPEX. Participation invited.
  18. Understanding better how our ISO task force can incorporate people from all over the world to work on a standard lifecycle GHG metrology.
  19. Green probity and international commonality for measurements are fundamental to a global approach for concerted CO2 emissions reduction.
  20. Planning to chair the debate “Green print: is it worth it?” at IPEX on Friday 21 May 2010 at 12:00 in Hall 9 (9F 320). Romano and me again.
