Paul Russell, Corporate Packaging Engineer at Hewlett-Packard, will discuss 
how the Task Group on Packaging and the Environment, which he co-founded, is 
in the final stages of completing industry standard specifications for 
computer packaging design.  HP as well as Apple, Sun and others are committed 
to adopting these specifications into their own design decisions.  A manual 
detailing these industry specs will be available in early August.

Afterward, we will drive five minutes to Free-Flow Packaging where we will 
take a tour of their facility.  Free-Flow is a manufacturer of flo-pak, a 
polystyrene cushioning material for protective packaging which is "the only 
loosefill packaging material made with 100% recycled waste polystyrene."
