a few sustainable graphic design resource books:

Sustainable Graphic Design: Tools, Systems and Strategies for Innovative Print Design An extensive compilation (over 500 pages!), Sustainable Graphic Design contains eco-conscious discourse, design, case studies and resources. Contributing Editor Wendy Jedlicka gathered a wide range of content from sustainable design pioneers and practitioners—including graphic designers, creative managers, marketing consultants, environmentalists, researchers, and psychologists. Published by global publisher Wiley, the book provides thought provoking information regarding leading edge materials and processes, sustainable design thinking, green workflows, and sustainable business practices.

Contributing Author Dion Zuess (of ecoLingo) wrote several sections of the book, including Chapter 6 titled "Working Smarter" which has been developed into a course within MCAD's groundbreaking Online Sustainable Design Post-Baccalaureate Certificate.

Also look for Sustainable Graphic Design's companion book Packaging Sustainability.

SustainAble: A Handbook of Materials and Applications for Graphic Designers and Their Clients

The Big Book of Green Design
P.S. - Look for ecoLingo's work in this book too! Out of thousands of submissions and only 230 design firms selected, two of ecoLingo's projects were showcased in Crescent Hill Books The Big Book of Green Design. The book is slated to be distributed in over 20 countries by Collins Design, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers.

Please consider the environment when printing web pages. And if you absolutely must print, take these steps to save paper and to reduce waste. Try changing your print settings so that you can print more than 1 page view per paper, and click the double-side printing (duplexing) option if your printer has one. Better yet, create screen captures or save screen documents as web archives by using the “Print to PDF” option to save a copy to your computer. This creates a handy digital reference that requires no paper or metal filing cabinets–ecoLingo.
