Their tangible effects are often ignored-- despite the fact that graphics and print design can be responsible for leveling a forest to produce a barely glanced at catalog or mail piece.

With information on materials and processes as well as case studies, this is a forward-looking toolkit for design professionals who want to take a more sustainable approach to their work.
