Conservative to use printing paper
-
Just curious to know how many of us are conservative about using printing papers ? I noticed in last one year I hardly use one pack of printer paper.I try to avoid printing paper as much as I can. I even reuse the margin of printed paper to do some note taking or calculation to make sure I don't waste it. Whenever I print something I feel guilt of cutting down more trees. Am I being too conservative to use paper ?
What you should be doing is printing and disseminating information on how to economincally purify salt water and create forests in the vast deserts on this planet. :)

Printing tenders and invoices is not something I want to be frugal about. :-D

If printing paper is a problem then you will be scared to look at all the houses that are made from wood.

When working as a programmer only ever printed stuff at work. I've never needed to do printing on my own account. Then I started an open university course last year and they require the essays and thesis as hard copies, so I had to get one. Tested it and will probably get aroung to printing something towards the end of next year. Stupid thing is that they mark the essays ( don't know about the thesis, don't even know what it'll be about yet. ) from the word files well OpenOffice saved as word files. The exam board apparently cant read computer screens so they have to have a hard copy. Suppose I shouldn't use any relatively new words then either.

The same banks who are GREEN because they offer e-statements (as opposed to 2 sheets a month) have absolutely no qualms about sending unsolicited crap (flyers, credit checks, loan offers, stupid agreement changes etc.) in the post. The paper savings from going the e-statement route is probably less than 10%! :sigh:

I don't know, but I heard their natural habitat is An Office, which might explain why I don't have one.

I avoid printing everything that can be saved digitally. Normally, I only print forms/contracts and stuff that must have a hard copy. Besides, I only purchase recycled paper.

How true! My bank sends me something that almost seems a newspaper in size and number of pages. It invariably ends up in the recycling bin, but all the resources spent to make and deliver it are totally wasted.

You should use more. Some trees are grown specifically for processing into paper. If nobody uses paper, their very existence will have been in vain. They will become depressed and as a result will become more susceptible to diseases. Living so close to each other, as they do, these diseases will spread extremely rapidly, decimating entire forests. All because you were too frugal in your use of paper. You should be ashamed of yourself! :-D

An excellent point, Henry, which exactly mirrors my argument in favor of consuming vast quantities of bacon and pork ribs. Several breeds of swine exist solely for the purpose of feeding the habits of people who share my love of pork. In fact, many of these specialty breeds have been bred to enjoy being clubbed between the ears, causing them a feeling of great relief and fulfillment similar to a human orgasm. I've done a lot of research into the method used to accomplish this, and while it's a closely held trade secret, I can tell you that it involves neurolinguistic programming techniques and a man holding a baseball bat while whispering "nice piggy" at the crucial moment in breeding. Without me and others of similar tastes, millions of these poor beasts would live out their lives feeling unfulfilled and unloved, and eventually the entire population would die off, primarily because of a lack of interest in breeding, "... it just isn't what it used to be." I couldn't bear to have that on my conscience. :((

Yep, once he reached that age, he attained everything he could ever dream of... an entire world of legal alcohol. So it was no use counting anymore. :)
