Radical Transparency Amid Office Depot's Paper Supplies

Here's a simple but powerful idea: People have the right to know where things come from and what they are made of. That's the idea behind a free open-source, volunteer-driven platform called Sourcemap. Sourcemap will soon make its mass market debut, thanks to a partnership between Office Depot and New Leaf Paper. The goal of the partnership is, not surprisingly, to sell more recycled paper. While you'll get some argument about this, experts say that recycled paper saves trees, energy and water, produces less pollution, uses more benign chemicals, and requires less bleaching than virgin paper production.
