In November 2002, 75 members of 56
environmental groups from the U.S., Canada, Indonesia and the
U.K. gathered together to join in an unprecedented commitment to
cooperation in furthering their work towards an environmentally
and socially sustainable paper production system.
The Environmental Paper Summit
launched networking and collaboration among groups promoting the
use of environmental papers, as well as laid the framework for
outreach to paper purchasers, producers and suppliers; community
and social justice groups; labor unions; and all the other
entities necessary to create a paper production system good for
the earth.
The Summit was a historic event
and resulted in the ratification of the Common Vision for
Transforming the Paper Industry. In addition, the Summit helped
to support enduring organizational collaborations.
FUTURE
SUMMITS
Future summits will focus on building bridges between market
forces and manufacturers in addition to continuing to facilitate
organizational networking and collaboration.
