COLUMNS GOES GREEN!
The print version of this issue was printed on a recycled paper from a mill that is just 15 miles from the company that prints Columns. The ink used on these pages is soy-based vegetable ink, meaning it is more biodegradable than standard ink. By using recycled paper, soy-based ink and a reduced carbon footprint, Columns is working to be a better steward of our environment.
