titansix discovered 2 months ago- From the page: "Grays Harbor Paper went under in 1992, and not just jobs were lost â€" as families made hard choices and were forced to move, some committed suicide. 600 people in the nearby rural cities of Hoquiam and Aberdeen lost their jobs. Things were bleak overall, and Bill Quigg had quite a task in front of him when he bought the company in 1993. Thatâ€s why he decided to make a big change: the traditional paper industry wasnâ€t working in these small logging towns, partially because of the protected status of the endangered spotted owl, which calls the forests in this area of Washington state home. Where workers once cursed the owl for putting them out of work, Quigg saw a solution: using 100 percent recycled paper instead of cutting down trees. And, he didnâ€t stop there â€" the plant is now entirely powered by biomass fuel derived from logging waste."
