Last year my sister, former Sustainability Director (now Policy Director) for the City of Providence, worked really hard on creating a sustainability plan for our city. I bound a copy of it for her birthday. Which maybe sounds like a dumdum move for the Earth. But isn’t it important for us to occasionally have physical records marking where we are in time? I bet The Library thinks so. And people who hoard things. Anyway, don’t worry everyone: I had it printed on FSC paper.
