Subject: Media Request for Article
on Life Cycle Assessments
Sirs-
Howdy. I'm a freelance
writer and I'm working on an article for a new trade publication that serves
the convention display design and production industry. The piece concerns the
manner in which those involved in this and related fields can minimize the
environmental impact of their industry without being taken in by those firms
which purport to offer green options while ignoring legitimate barometers of
impact such as Life Cycle Assessment.
I've done a bit of
research on your organization and I'd like to mention it in the article as a good
place to start for those who are new to green purchasing or who would like to
become certified themselves. I was also curious to know if someone at your
organization be willing to give me a quick quote about what to look for when
assessing the LCA of the products they use. More importantly, I was hoping you
might be able to provide me with some examples of allegedly "green"
products and services that don't actually possess favorable LCA's or are
otherwise not quite what they're cracked up to be.
If you can provide me
with a quick quote or put me in touch with someone who might be able to, please
get back to me later today if possible.
Thanks,
Barrett Brown
