Québec Science implements sustainable practices!
Québec Science is actively implementing sustainable practices to reduce its carbon footprint. To this end, the magazine is proud to announce a significant reduction in the use of plastic bags when sending magazines to subscribers. With a few exceptions, magazines will no longer be bagged when mailed, since subscription renewal notices, which used to have to be inserted in a plastic bag, will now be integrated into the magazine itself, in the form of a double-cover (see example below). A major first for magazines in Quebec!
