<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'>Hello! A small group of
you contacted me to express concern that Upstart summer reading products are
not environmentally friendly. I emailed the chair of CSLP’s vendor
committee to let her know Oregon librarians’ concern, and recommended that
Upstart start providing more environmentally friendly promotional materials and
incentives. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'>The CSLP vendor committee chair
replied:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><i><span style='color:navy'>Upstart
is working towards becoming environmentally friendly. The following is from the
2010 incentive catalog.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='color:navy'>"Upstart is going green.
Preserving the environment is a global responsibility, and we’ve made a
commitment to do our part! All posters and bookmarks for the 2010 CSLP are
printed on recycled paper, and our plastic book bags with drawstrings are made
from recycled/recyclable material."<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
