1000 Flowers for the Planet - #125 Think Before You Print


1000 Flowers for the Planet - #125 Think Before You Print


It only takes a small amount of effort and time to think before you print. Eventually, doing the best thing for the planet becomes second nature. Meanwhile, before you print off an email, decide if it could best be filed into a different folder for future reference. Is the information something you really need for the long term or is it a temporary requirement that you refer to it? What are you keeping the information for? How important is it? Is there another way you could deal with this? The answers will be many and varied, and ultimately it is up to you, but by thinking before printing you may well be saving a huge amount of resources – trees, water, energy, transport, landfill, recycling costs, ink and money from your pocket.
