The Paper Retriever program benefits society and organizations in the following ways:

Benefits the Environment and Community – Through the recycling of newspapers, magazines, catalogs and mail, each participating organization reduces landfill use, saves water and energy.

Promotes Environmental Stewardship and Education – Paper Retriever provides free materials to support each organization's recycling program. We also work with the program coordinators to foster environmental stewardship through recycling and environmental activities.

Absolutely Free – There are never any hidden charges or deductions from the money earned. Participation, bin placement, maintenance and collection services are provided in return for your recycling efforts.

Unrestricted Funds – All Paper Retriever trucks are equipped with the latest on-board scales and computers allowing the weight of paper to be individually recorded at the time of pick-up. This allows each organization to be evaluated on its own merits and accomplishments. The revenue earned from this paper can be used for specific projects that the organization chooses.

Emma Goldman once spoke of not wanting to take part in a revolution that didn't include dancing. Well, thanks to some enterprising entrepreneurs, the green movement can now raise a glass or two without guilt…and that includes vodka.

Here's the word from EatDrinkBetter.com: "360, Square One, Purus, Sunshine, Fourteen, UK5, Ocean, CapRock, Prairie, Crop, and Rain. Not all household names when thinking about a vodka martini—yet. While organic and biodynamic wines have been around for decades, organic and sustainable spirits have just started to come on board."

Square One Vodka, for example, is billed as "a singular grain vodka made from organic American rye using organic fermentation and distillation techniques." "Square One Vodka is a great example of a distillery employing green practices. They use pure water from the Teton mountains and organic rye grown in North Dakota. They claim their product is so pure it requires only one distillation, and their distillery receives 25 percent of its electrical power from wind-generated sources. They have recently started purchasing carbon offsets and have been sponsors of several environmental events. Not only that, they are a female-owned company offering flextime, jobsharing and virtual office options to their employees."
