| The U.S. book and newspaper industries combined necessitate the harvest of 125 million trees each year (30 million trees for the book industry and 95 million trees for the newspaper industry). Together, they emit more than 40 million metric tons of CO2 annually; that is the equivalent to the annual CO2 emissions of 7.3 million cars. Source: www.greenpressinitiative.org |

 Attention all UC Students, Alumni, Staff & Faculty: An exciting and significant opportunity is at hand!
Sign the Petition before Feb. 23 to support the Proposal for Proxy Voting Guidelines on Responsible Investment, being voted on by the UC Regents on Tuesday, February 23. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/uc-responsible-investing
Responsible Investing is the practice of taking social and environmental concerns, not just monetary, into account when making investment decisions. Colleges and universities own stocks of companies - often millions, or even billions - in their endowments. As a large institutional shareholders, the University of California has the power to use their investments to push for the progressive elimination of corporate practices that are detrimental to society and the environment. The UC Responsible Investing Coalition is recommending that the UC Board of Regents become more active shareholders, to adopt responsible proxy voting guidelines, and to consider forming a committee of students, alumni, and faculty on responsible investing.
