<p>This week, St. Martin&rsquo;s Press will publish one of the most inspiring and important business books of our time: <a target="_blank" href="http://us.macmillan.com/confessionsofaradicalindustrialist">Confessions of a Radical Industrialist</a> by <a target="_blank" href="http://rayanderson.com">Ray C. Anderson</a>, the Chairman and Founder of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.interfaceglobal.com/">Interface</a>.<br />&nbsp;<br />Ray is deeply committed to realizing his goal of making all businesses both environmentally sustainable and profitable. When he approached publishers with his book, he challenged the industry to re-examine its own manufacturing processes.&nbsp; St. Martin&rsquo;s Press has done so with this book, producing it in as sustainable a manner as current technologies allow.&nbsp; Among other steps, St. Martin's Press have printed it on paper that is 100% recycled from 100% post-consumer waste; adjusted the trim size to maximize paper-roll efficiency and eliminate trimming waste; used soy based rather than petroleum based inks; and instead of printing a separate dust jacket they have printed on and wrapped the boards with 100% recycled paper stock. <br />&nbsp;<br />If you share Ray&rsquo;s vision for what business can do&mdash;must do&mdash;to sustain our earth, I hope you will consider joining us in our effort to spread the word. <br />&nbsp;<br />(Originally from Kenneth Gillett of St. Martin's Press)<br /></p> 9 0 2009-09-16T12:42:52Z 262 false 51 Group 2 2009-09-16T12:42:52Z 2
