    Ed #13 Balance is about considering every step of the process in the
creation of sustainable communications. The choices along the way are very
complex, and everything is a tradeoff. Ed #13 Balance looks at the
footprints of both print and electronic communications - their
environmental costs and advantages - and ways to make the best use of both.
It educates on ways to make a bigger impact on an audience while reducing
the impact on the environment.

    The brochure is organized into three comprehensive sections: 1) Working
Sustainably, 2) Cycles - Examining communications, carbon, paper and
computer lifecycles and

    3) Footprints - Ideas and information about your footprint. In these
sections, key statistics are provided regarding the forest products
industry and responsible forest harvesting, carbon emissions, energy
consumption, waste disposal such as e-waste, communication lifecycles and
much more.

    "Ed #13 Balance will educate its readers to more fully understand the
environmental impact of both print and electronic communications," says
Julie Davis, marketing communications manager, Commercial and Digital for
NewPage. "Print is a truly sustainable communication vehicle that plays an
important role in a successful, integrated marketing campaign and works in
partnership with e-media initiatives to increase brand awareness."

    The "Ed" series is a friendly educator for all things paper, printing
and design - a source for information and inspiration to help the creative
community express their ideas, on-press and on paper. The brochure series
is accompanied by the http://www.EdLivesHere.com Web site.
