My wife went to The Art Store to test out a new acrylic paint, and there were door prizes for the attendees
at the end of the demonstration session. It was just so fitting that my wife won the Strathmore Windpower Sketch sketchbook! Strathmore is the first and only U.S. paper manufacturer to use wind generated electricity to run their paper mills. The paper in this sketchbook is also composed of 30% post-consumer fiber and is acid free.
So, what are the environmental savings derived from Strathmore using wind power and recycled paper at their mills?
- 13 Million lbs. toxic air emissions not generated (CO2, SO2, NOX)
- 8,581 barrels of crude oil or 1,960 tons of coal not used
- 14.5 million miles not driven
- 94,500 trees not cut down
- 40 million gallons water/wastewater flow saved
Not bad, eh? The Strathmore Windpower Series sketchbook is one Green-Sexy product!
