SPOKANE — Five pulp and paper mills in Washington state, including Boise, Inc., in Wallula, are measuring their social and environmental "footprint" to find out how they can improve their impact on the environment, the economy and their communities.

The facilities are participating in the "Industrial Footprint Project," which is sponsored by the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) and funded by a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Ecology and Boise are inviting the public to a meeting to discuss the project. It starts at 6:30 p.m., Monday, Jan. 25, 2010, at Walla Walla University's Kellogg Hall, Alaska Lobby, 32 SE Ash Ave, College Place, WA.
