Environmental Responsibility Olin College is making an effort to be environmentally responsible with regard to our printed publications. The Student Handbook utilizes a font which allows a substantial amount of text to fit on each page, keeping the book to as few pages as possible without compromising readability and function- ality. We do not laminate the cover, as most lamination materials are not recyclable. We utilize digital printing, to eliminate film and printing plates. Cover stock: This cover paper contains 100% post-consumer recycled content. We have selected paper from a local source — a New Hampshire mill — so less fuel is used to transport it to the Boston area than most papers (which are often transported from the upper mid- west or the Pacific northwest). It is made with 100% green electricity and manufactured carbon neutral. The paper is process chlorine free. The PCF designation means that no chlorine or chlorine compounds were used in the pulp and paper making processes. Text stock: The text paper is manufactured using biogas energy. Gas, produced from the decomposition of waste in a landfill, is trans- ported to the mill and used in the paper making process. Using this green energy substantially reduces greenhouse gas emissions. The new fibers in this paper come from well-managed forests and controlled sources. It contains 50% post-consumer recycled fibers. This paper holds certification from Environment Canada’s Environ- mental Choice Program, which identifies environmentally friendly products. Criteria are greenhouse gas emissions, water and energy resources consumption and use of recycle fiber. The paper manu- facturer is the only Canadian fine paper manufacturer that has been certified. Cover designed by Tanner Reid ’13 featuring an Olin-themed penny-crusher. Photograph by Tanner Reid ’13 Penny-crusher designed, machined, and built by Robert McMullen ’13 for ENGR2330: Me- chanical Design and a Passionate Pursuit: Penny Pressing. The Passionate Pursuits program is supported, in part, by the Class of 2010 class gift (see pages 51–53). Coin trivia: “Elongated coins,” as they are most commonly known, are legal in the United States under U.S. Code Title 18, Chapter 17, Section 331 if the mutilated coins are not used fraudulently or with the intention of creating counterfeit coinage. Penny presses may be found at the Museum of Science in Boston, the Boston Children’s Museum, and Fenway Park. Volume 11 2012–13 Layout: Sylvia Peretz Page 4 photo: Mike Maloney © 2012, Franklin W.
