Reminder to Submit Nominations for PNEAC Publication of the Year
(apologies for cross posting)
Dear friends and colleagues,
Just a friendly reminder to consider nominating a new publication for the
Printer's National Environmental Assistance Center's (PNEAC) annual
publication of the year award. This will
not take you much time at all!!!
An eligible publication should focus on environmental issues, that impact
the printing industry. Nominations can be a journal article, fact
sheet, case study, report or book published between July 1,
2006 and December 31, 2007. The publication may be nominated by
anyone (the author, a colleague, a reader, etc.), and it may reference
vendors or be written by a vendor. However, the item must indicate the
real benefits associated with the action and not simply unproven
claims.
A five-member committee selected by PNEAC will judge the nominations.
Judging criteria will include:
A.
Effectiveness helping U.S. printers improve their performance relative to
one or more of the following:
o compliance with environmental
regulations
o reduction of wastes, effluents, and
emissions
o reduction of energy
consumption
o environmental performance of the
printed product
o environmental sustainability of
operations, products, and/or practices
o health and safety of printing
employees
B.
The innovation incorporated in the practices, technologies, or strategies
described in the publication
C.
The quality of writing
Nominations are due by January 15, 2008. A decision on a winner is
expected by February 15, 2008 and will be announced at the National
Environmental Health and Safety Conference for the Graphics Industry to
be held in Indianapolis, March 10?12, 2008. See
http://www.pneac.org/PublicationOfTheYear/ for specific information
on how to nominate a publication and to read about last year's winner,
Gary Jones from PIA/GATF.
Happy Holidays!!
Please consider the environment before printing
