Has @NewLeafPaper put itself out of business? #storiesandbeerTriplePundit.com
But why replicate the Newman's business, then? It's the benefit model. #storiesandbeerTriplePundit.com

Is the government creating the market or fixing the market with e.o. requiring 30% post consumer recycled paper? #storiesandbeerTriplePundit.com
Changed up the format to get cozier! #storiesandbeer @hubbayarea @triplepundit @gsbtweets @newleafpapermissionhub
the price differential between 30% post consumer and virgin paper is so high, schools buy the virgin. #storiesandbeerTriplePundit.com
