I wasn’t going to write an Earth Day post today, because I hate the environment. (That’s not true, it’s just what I tell Green Peace people who harass me as I walk down the street. The real reason was that I was going to do Administrative Assistants’ Day instead.) However, I came across San Francisco based New Leaf Paper, which couldn’t be a more fitting company to feature on Earth Day. According to their web site, they lead “the paper industry in the development and distribution of environmentally superior printing and office papers.” It’s kind of like Dunder Mifflin gone green and moved to California (there’s an idea for the Michael Scott Paper Company!). If you’re surprised that a paper company can offer both quality and affordability while being eco-friendly, then you should check out New Leaf’s Eco Audit. I don’t know what to make of all those numbers, but hopefully you will. At the very least it sounds phenomenal that they saved 118 Trees, 5,551 Pounds of solid waste, 50,178 Gallons of water, 84 Million Btu of energy, and more.

Turn Over a New Leaf

Although our paper usage has probably peaked (the decline seems to have started in 2007), we still use a ton of paper. That means that there’s a lot of room for a company like New Leaf Paper to eat up market share as corporate paper buyers decide to go green. That’s probably why New Leaf Paper recently secured a $5 million equity investment, even though they’re a profitable company that has been around for more than 10 years. This recent investment is the reason that we decided to talk about jobs with them, even though they don’t have anything posted at the entry level (we found them because of their internship postings). In fact, I couldn’t find New Leaf Paper’s Jobs page by navigating their site; however, I did find it through a Google search. They do have one Senior Sales position listed, but we think that there might be future opportunities coming soon as New Leaf Paper starts investing the money that they recently got. You can reach out to New Leaf Paper about jobs at info@newleafpaper.com, but be sure to do some research on their LinkedIn profile first to get an idea of what types of positions might be available.
