A few weeks ago I was asked to give someone information on formaldehyde so they could talk to a customer. I suggested that they send the customer an old blog post. But it was a bit challenging for them to find that post, so I thought it would be good to provide a master index of the topics covered so far. It has the added fun advantage to me of driving my editor, Kim, crazy since she’ll have to link each of these individually to the old posts!
I’ve grouped them by general topics. Of course many will overlap topics, but this should make it a bit easier to find things.
After this, I’m going to wrap it up for the year. We’ll take a bit of a break while I try to find some more green issues to discuss next year. I wish everyone happy holidays and all the best for 2012. It’s been a tough few years for all of us, and I hope we can become more united next year and work toward the health of the industry as a whole. Thank you all for reading, and all my best.
