Hi Barrett,
Thank you for your e-mail and for your interest in the Green
Guide to NeoCon and obtaining a quote about product LCA’s. Deborah
Dunning, the president of The Green Standard, whom I’ve copied here, was
responsible for producing the content of the Green Guide and would
probably be the best person to provide you with the information you need. She
and her staff are experts in this field and would most certainly be able to give
you a great quote for your article.
If I can be of further assistance, do not hesitate to contact
me.
Kind regards,
Robert

Subject: Quote for Article on Green Purchasing
Hi,
Robert-
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
have a copy of the Green Guide that Interiors & Sources put
out recently, and I'd like to mention it in the article as a good place to
start for those who are new to green purchasing. I was also curious if you or
one of your writers might be willing to give me a quick quote about what to
look for when assessing the LCA of the products they use, or perhaps an
anecdote regarding some of the more dubious examples of green products that you
or your writers may have come across.
About
the publication:
360
is a monthly custom publication sent from Radius Display products to
approximately 5,000 of their clients, who are primarily display dealer owners,
sales managers and project managers. This article will be featured in its first
issue, which is due to publish at the end of June.
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 or tomorrow if possible.
Thanks,
Barrett
Brown
