Subject: Environment statement after copyright
Hi,
My manager wants me to put an environment friendly statement
in the front matter of our user's guide, right after the copyright
information.
Something like the following:
"Printed in the United States of America on recycled paper made
with 30 percent post-consumer waste."
Does anyone else do this? Anyone have a better suggestion?
I looked on my bookshelf and none of my books have
anything similar.
Martha
