Mohawk Fine Papers is greener than you!

With environmental issues more in the forefront of our minds than ever before, green practices are increasingly a factor in corporate promotion and branding. So much so, it’s hard to tell who’s really nice to the planet, and who’s just faking it. So I was interested in this story on www.ethicalcorp.com, which identifies a dozen companies who are moving in the right direction, for reals. We were particularly happy to see that Mohawk Fine Papers, the company behind some of our favorite and most-often-used stocks (Strathmore, Mohawk SuperFine, and Via) was given the nod.

All of this makes me extra-pleased to have just won another prize from Mohawk, for entering their Strathmore Letterhead Contest for the third quarter of 2008. I sent in samples of the Mahogany Bay business stationery suite that we printed this past January. It’s a pretty big system, including letterhead, envelopes, buckslip notecards for the president and the founder, and business cards for four different people in the company. All printed on Strathmore writing natural white papers. Classy! I haven’t been tapped (yet!) for my design skills this time around – they’ve awarded me a fat iTunes gift card for being one of the first 25 entries for the quarter. So I guess I am finally being rewarded for my stellar time management skills!
