Editor-in-chief
Dear ipw reader,

no more polystyrene foam cups at dunkin' donuts by 2020, tall student housing made of wood ... we have mostly good news on this Valentine's Day 2018. Please find more news below, as well as on our website and in our upcoming issue on March 1, 2018.

We wish you a Happy Valentine's Day, because we want to - and because we can. (It is hard to believe that in Pakistan the media was recently banned from mentioning Valentine's Day.)

Sincerely,

your ipw and bio-fibre team
