The Paper Guide section also includes: mill contacts to determine distribution in specific geographic areas, description of specific printing and writing grades and what they're commonly used for, suggestions of paper grades appropriate for specific projects, and trends apparent in the current compilation of papers compared to previous years'.

Other site sections discuss:
environmental paper attributes in detail,

environmental content issues such as definitions, labeling,

common issues such as cost and availability,

source reduction,

vendor tips and leads for buying in small quantities,

overview of environmental issues affecting paper production,

and paper industry overview, history, distribution, and glossary.

Some site sections are still under construction and the whole site is a continually evolving resource. Under construction are detailed sections for printing, using recycled paper in copiers, purchasing in large quantities, graphic design, book and magazine publishing, more environmental and solid waste issues, and how individuals and organizations can increase the use of environmental papers for themselves and in their areas.
