Jennifer Daly used Fabriano Disegno Ecologico Per Artisti paper which is
"Ecological drawing paper, acid free, produced with 100% of post-consumer recycled cellulose. Slightly marked surface having a higher white degree than the common recycled paper. Thanks to its excellent surface mass gluing it is ideal for sketches and pencil, charcoal, pastel, colour pencil and ink drawing. The use of recycled cellulose allows to save 15 trees each ton of paper produced (equal to 1.200 pads). The use of hydroelectric energy allows to save 14.000.000 m³ of methane and 26.000 tons of CO2 non-emissions. The company complies with Kyoto protocol (ministerial authorization to emit greenhouse gases no. 566). The paper is adorned with the label “FSC 100% recycled” assuring that the product is created by reusing post-consumer recycled material in accordance with FSC standards, supporting a responsible use of the forest resources." http://fabriano.com/p/en/149/3/disegno_ecologico_per_artisti
I had a look in Gordon harris and the only environmentally friendly paper they have is this one called Accademia - "Fabriano Accademia drawing paper is made of high quality lignin free and acid free cellulose, guaranteeing long conservation over time. Produced with 100% of E.C.F. pulp (Elemental Chlorine Free), F.S.C. certified (©1996 Forest Stewardship Council A.C.) from forests responsibly managed respectful of environmental, social and economic standards. Its internal and external sizing renders it resistant to repeated erasures. It is recommended for artists and amateurs for sketching and drawing with pencil, charcoal, pastel, coloured pencil and ink. Its 200 g/m2 is also suitable for gouache." http://fabriano.com/p/en/36/accademia
