Chamber Green Scene Issue #15: ZebraGraphics

Posted by Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce - 2/20/2009 03:35:00 PM


ZebraGraphics understands the need for environmentally sound printing. They understand that "going green" is more than just a buzz phrase. It is acknowledging that we are the stewards of this beautiful planet and need to take care of it for future generations.

ZebraGraphics works toward eco-friendly solutions for their clients printing needs. That's why they collaborate with environmentally sound paper manufacturers. They also use a variety of recycled papers, up to 100% post-consumer. ZebraGraphics even obtains its paper from a wind-powered paper mill, further minimizing its impact on the environment.

Most of us are aware that trees are continually replanted and harvested by the forest products industry. However, it is still important to choose recycled paper products, which use a mere fraction of the resources and require fewer chemicals to produce. The price difference for post-consumer paper is minimal, especially in comparison with the environmental savings, and it is available for most printed items. As improvements in the paper industry continue, keep in mind that availability may vary for 100% post-consumer paper.

Call ZebraGraphics for your next print project, and don't forget to ask about recycled paper options. They'll offer eco-friendly print solutions while making your business look good in print!

Chamber Green Scene Issue #14: Video Conferencing - A Benefit to the Environment and to Chamber partners

Posted by Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce - 2/05/2009 11:24:00 AM



In an effort to provide even more value to our partners, the Chamber has invested in a state-of-the-art IP video conferencing system that you may now use.

Everyone knows video conferencing saves time and travel expenses—but did you know it’s better for the environment too? Video conferencing eliminates the CO2 emissions that would have been produced and saves the fuel that would have been used by traveling.

We know that now more than ever, you are looking to spend each dollar wisely—and that is one more reason why your Chamber is continually looking for ways to make your partnership dollars provide value to your business.

Video Conferencing Rates:
Chamber Partners - $150 an hour
Bronze, Silver, and Gold President’s Club Partners - $100 an hour
Diamond and Platinum President’s Club Partners - $75 an hour

*ISDN to IP bridging service is an extra $65 an hour for all partners.

All rentals include the use of either the Community Room, Board Room, or Presentation Room.

Contact Office Manager Amanda Johnson at amanda@bgchamber.com or by calling 781-3200 to check availability and to plan your next video conferencing session today!
