Dear colleagues,

 I am a new member of the FOREST list.  I am posting an announcement that I
think that list members will find of interest.  I tried to send this
announcement to the list earlier, but, as far as I can tell, did not succeed.
If I did, in fact, succeed, please excuse the duplicate posting.

 The JOURNAL OF INDUSTRIAL ECOLOGY, a peer-reviewed international quarterly
published by MIT Press for Yale University, has published a special issue on
the industrial ecology of paper and wood. The issue includes summaries of
three
major comprehensive studies of the production, consumption and waste
management
of paper and wood from:

** the Environmental Defense Fund Paper Task Force (EDF PTF),
** the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), and
** Maureen Smith of the University of California, Los Angeles.

The issue includes an edited transcript of a 3 week long e-mail roundtable
between the authors.

 The issue also includes important research papers on the industrial
ecology of
forest products:
*an analysis of the dynamics of production growth, waste paper utilization and
technology diffusion needed to accomplish the goals set out by the American
Forest & Paper Assocation's AGENDA 2020 for recycling, energy efficiency and
biomass use.

and

** a pathbreaking study of where in the product life cycle (forestry, milling
or consumption and waste management) the greatest potential for leverage to
conserve forests lies.
