Once Eco Partners newsletters are printed, there is still an extra step to give some versions the final touch, and Traci Cooper is the one who makes that happen.

For communities who opt to mail the newsletters in an envelope, two additional folds are needed. Six years ago, Cooper and her company, C & W Associates in Finishing, were asked to take over the folding and packaging for those newsletters.

"It was a good fit for our equipment and the time frame that was requested was very reasonable," she said. The process really adds the "finishing touches" for the newsletters. "We receive printed material, such as newsletters or papers, and we fold them to specific sizes and carton pack for shipment to the distributor," said Cooper.

Even when not at work, Cooper likes to take on projects, although these projects involve her children and extended family. She also spends time with them playing outside. Her education about the "great outdoors" comes from her own research and "green" initiatives, and she is excited about what environmental education can do.

"Every effort made to preserve or protect makes a difference," she said. "It is exciting for our company to be involved with an organization that is doing such great things for the world."
