What we’ve got here is a graphic from the website of French Paper Company highlighting their production of clean, renewable energy. President Jerry French had this to say about the company’s energy:

100 percent of French’s paper production since 1922 has been manufactured with hydroelectricity generated on-site at the French Mill on the bank of the St. Joe River, avoiding the use of fossil fuels and an estimated 700,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. Also, unlike many of the big paper conglomerates, French does not buy secondhand ‘green power’ credits from power companies for good PR and environmental certifications. French actually sells surplus kilowatts back to the local power supplier.

Very impressive. Although, it would be great if I could find more info on the paper sources themselves, and which of French’s papers (if any) are FSC-certified.
