A group of law firms have banded together to collaborate on ways to reduce, re-use and recycle. What started out as an informal group of people from a few firms around the country has become, two years later, the Law Firm Sustainability Network.
While law firms aren't polluters on the scale of coal-power plants, refineries or paper mills, they still leave a carbon footprint. "A law firm is like any other business. It uses a lot of electricity, water and paper. All law firms use a lot of paper," said Peter Masaitis, an Alston & Bird partner in Los Angeles who is the LFSN's president.
