Howdy folks,
can anyone help this reporter? He's not on the list serve, so please
respond directly to him (as well as the list serve).

hi Brenda,
I'm a reporter with the Industry Standard, a weekly Internet business
magazine in San Francisco. I'm working on a story about the amount of
wasted
paper and other resources created by the PR industry--specifically in
the
high-tech/dot-com world. (The piles of press releases and faxes are just
the
beginning; an online coffee company recently sent one of our editors a
50-lb
bag of coffee beans, unsolicited. Ridiculous.) The folks at Friends of
the
Earth suggested that you might have data or other relevant information.
Any
help is much appreciated!
Regards,
Alex

I realize specific data on the high-tech world is going to be hard to
come
by...what about more general stats from business/office environments?
Are
those in your report?
Also, I'm curious if anyone's ever complained about the waste generated
by
stupid gizmos and tchotchkes that companies slap their logos on and send
out
(i.e., keyrings, squeeze balls, and other cheapo knick knacks). Maybe
it's
because I'm a reporter and get that stuff all the time, but it seems
like an
epidemic!
Alex
