Design like you give a damn with the second edition of Monadnock Paper Mills' how-to guide for creating more-sustainable print materials. A Field Guide: Eco-Friendly, Efficient and Effective Print, accompanied by luscious illustrations by the inimitable Charley Harper, is available for free as an online PDF. (You can also order a print version of the guide that uses Monadnock's Astrolite PC 100, a 100 percent uncoated post-consumer, chlorine-free paper.)
Design, says the New Hampshire-based family-owned paper mill, can be "cost-efficient, environmentally sensitive, and beautiful." ::Monadnock Paper Mills

Thanks for posting. This is a great little guide (under 40 pages). It is intended for "professionals" but I read through it and am not a professional and found it useful. I don't know much about printing alternatives and this guide is quick and comprehensive about a lot of aspects of putting a print job together. I knew about optimal design, but beyond that I only knew of soy ink.
Be advised, there is a third edition to the Field Guide now available. Link for 2nd edition no longer valid. See www.mpm.com/graphicarts/environment/field_guide
