About SAN ANTONIO MAGAZINE
We are committed to the idea that if we don't take care of it, it won't be around. Our environment is a valuable resource we need to protect," declares Peggy Thompson, co-owner of Postscript, Inc., doing business as Minuteman Press.
The Thompsons first started doing some recycling about 12 years ago and have been participating in Windtricity – more... since the second quarter of 2007. "A lot of chemistry is used in the printing business," she says. "So we continue to look for ways to help the environment."
In addition to Windtricity, they recycle paper and use fluorescent lighting, organic pesticides and fertilizers. Like others, they have to pay someone to haul away the recyclable materials they collect. They even provide soy ink printing to the two local businesses that have requested it , the Aveda Institute of San Antonio and K. Charles & Co. Most businesses are looking at cost and don't request environmentally friendly printing. This process is expensive because of the additional steps and extra costs for using 30-percent postconsumer recycled papers. Part of the cost results from the special cleansing process needed to switch from oilbased inks to soy inks.
Thompson believes in being green so much that she and her husband personally take their household recyclables to the plant since curbside recycling is not offered in their neighborhood. "I think it is important for all of us to consider doing everything we can to help our environment," she explains. "Using Windtricity and being green however we can is simply the right thing to do." – less – More from ZoomInfo »
