With all the 'buzz' surrounding Earth Day, it's hard to know what to focus on. Simple tips range from turning off lights and using energy efficient lightbulbs, to shutting down computers when not in use.
But it can be overwhelming to map out a long-term sustainability plan for your business.

- FSC, the Forest Stewardship Council, is a standard for forest products that come from responsibly managed forests. According to Treehugger.com, this means products that come from wood suppliers who work to "protect habitat, prevent pollution, plant more trees than are harvested and avoid displacing native peoples and harming wildlife".
- Green Seal is an independent organization that works to safeguard the environment by promoting products and services that are environmentally responsible. All Green Seal certified products are made with a minimum of 30% post-consumer fiber. All recycled Neenah papers are Green Seal certified.
- Many of Neenah's products carry the recycle symbol, certifying that Neenah products with this symbol contain a minimum of 30% post consumer recycled fiber. Some of Neenah's brands are made with 100% post-consumer fiber.
