There are the biodegradable corn starch 'plastic' bags available also.
However, in fact, why do they need to send out a magazine at all - either post it direct on website or perhaps make it an e-mazine in pdf format for download? I am a member of a number of small organisations which work this way, so surely the monlith of the IFA could make it work? any 'green products' companies also work this way to reduce mailings.
I have to say IFA is very poor on e-communication - can't remember last time I got anything from them which wasn't in hard copy.
Would save considerably on postage also.
To avoid exclusion, those without internet access who opted to could still receive a hard copy - would be interested to know how many/few archaeologists that would actually be though (I mean really without access, not the technophobic refuseniks).
