Did you ever think of the internet as something harmful to the environment? I guess not. Internet by itself is not bad. but in the hands of students and offices it is a deadly weapon against the environment.
I say offices because in all kinds of offices (tour operators, financial offices,lawyer offices are some examples) print most of their conversations and information about their customers on paper. You can imagine how much paper is wasted and then thrown away since most offices do not think for the environment because someone will have to bring that paper to a recycle facility. and that costs. so its easier to just throw it away. Oh yes, if seen that. So do you wanna be like that i ask you.
What do you do with the power points slides that need reading for tomorrow? you print them. actually i do it too sometimes but i at least have my recycle bin at home and at the end of the semester i recycle them. so try to do something about it. either just store everything at your computer and read it from there or at least try to print as little as possible and only the things that you really need.
So next time you are going to print a page think if you really need it. Trees are dying to help you print! I hope you get the irony.
