Gary Walton, of Cincinnati State, Shares his Philosophy on Sustainability
" To me, both as an educator and a printer, it just makes commonsense to be a part of the Sustainable Green Printing Partnership. I believe as human beings it is our responsibility to leave this world in a better place than it was when we came into it. 

Sustainable Green Printing Partnership helps us accomplish these objectives. Young people especially want to make the world a better place.  It is just logical that we get on board and become a part of the education and contribute to the changes to make printing a green industry.
 
In December, Cincinnati State had the privilege of hosting the SGP officers in one of our classrooms. We listened to their presentations and learned where we stand as a printing industry. We thought we were doing a lot of things to help the environment, but after the lecture, we knew that there is so much more we could be doing. Here at Cincinnati State we are looking forward to rolling up our sleeves and working along side of SGP to make our industry truly green."

SGP Investigates New Supplier Program?!
In 2018, TLMI made the bold move of disbanding its printer and supplier certification program, L.I.F.E. SGP continues to onboard the printers interested in moving forward with SGP certification. The question that was raised concerned suppliers that had been L.I.F.E. certified, specifically, what can the SGP program offer. In November 2018, the SGP Board of Directors voted to move forward to explore the feasibility of  establishing a certification program for the supply community. Jodi Sawyer, Immediate Past Chair, SGP Board of Directors, has been asked to chair this effort.

Stay tuned as SGP further investigates this project with the help of select SGP patrons!
