In recycling news, Disney just passed a new paper policy, which pleases Rainforest Action Network greatly- from Waste & Recycling News:

Mickey now prefers recycled paper. And Donald, too.

A new policy from The Walt Disney Co. is putting a new policy in place that aims to maximize use of paper and packaging that contains recycled content and fiber sourced from Forest Stewardship Council-certified forestry operations.

The new paper sourcing and use policy sets guidelines for paper used in daily business as well as consumer products and packaging, Disney said.

Other components of the policy include minimizing the consumption of paper and eliminating paper products containing irresponsibly harvested fiber.

“The paper policy is an example of how Disney conducts business in an environmentally and socially responsible way, and demonstrates the company’s commitment to creating a lasting, positive impact on ecosystems and communities worldwide,” said Beth Stevens, senior vice president of Disney Corporate Citizenship, Environment and Conservation.
