The Baltimore Examiner s GREEN story

Published March 25, 2008 4:00am ET



  • All materials received in The Examiner’s printing and manufacturing processing plants are recycled, including paper, cores, plates and polymer. The Examiner is also printed on recycled paper. 

 

  • The Examiner uses no solvents or hazardous materials in any of our printing processes, qualifying us for exclusion from pollution control devices at our plants. Producing The Examiner requires no annual pollution control testing at all. 

 

  •  The Baltimore Examiner’s Pratt St. corporate headquarters has eight recycling stations for its employees.

 

  • The Examiner’s stories average about 600 words, keeping our presses to a minimum. Our tabloid layout – no sections – reduces our need for paper and also makes us easier to recycle.

 

  • The Examiner strongly encourages non-readers to “opt-out” from circulation on page two every day. We also make The Examiner available online in pdf format every morning, allowing our readers to receive a paperless version of The Examiner.

 

  • The primary culprit when it comes to energy use is commercial real estate. As previously mentioned, our plants produce no pollution. And in our office space on The Harbor, our windows are visible from nearly everywhere, helping keep heating costs down and natural light up. We also encourage employees to shut down computers and turn off their lights when they leave.
