 1000 Flowers for the Planet - #132 Use A Memory Stick

Sometimes we want to share files or information with others but cannot use email to do this. Rather than printing the file and taking the hardcopy to its destination, copy the file to a memory stick and take that with you. These memory sticks are inexpensive, last a long time, are small and therefore extremely portable, and hold a great deal of information.  So they can also be used as backups of some of your files. They may not replace an external hard-drive that will hold all of your files, but make for a sensible extra copy of your most important files. Another good use for a memory stick would be as storage for photos. I’ve often heard of people losing all their photos when their phone was stolen or dropped in water, and this kind of catastrophe can be avoided by regularly loading these precious memories onto your computer and/or a memory stick. Take the time. It will be worth the effort and help the planet as well.
