lol on thousands ..Have a terrific Day without sighting any of them.
You nailed it. The posters imploring people to not waste paper is the single largest source of paper wastage in large companies. And then companies boast about their green credentials and the carbon foortprint; using large glossy posters in the pantry.
Reminds me of the time I was to receive an award for "Best Attendance" way back in school; except that I was absent for the function :P
Yeah... like we see "Save Plastic" plastic hoardings torn and hanging!
Totally!
And that is what I call spam!
Paper saving has been on the environment agenda for as long as I can remember...
Almost all emails I get has the obligatory 'Do not print this' addendum at the end.
My company also has it's share of paper saving policy. We need print outs of reports that needs to be circulated to higher officials or clients. For those, we are obligated to use single sided print outs.
BUT - policy dictates - that if we are to take print outs for intermediary purposes, such as review/ making notes/ edits via pens.... we are to use the blank side of the older reports, thus saving paper.
For using blank paper - unused on both sides - for such 'frivolous' purposes, we are supposed to take special permission, which is a hassle.
So... as a matter of routine, we take multiple copies of all reports... so that we are never in short supply of the 'used' paper...
And the whole brouhaha (poster campaign by the various departments)was about creating a paper-less office, uh?
But who'll let RD(Readers Digest) know that their sweepstakes offer finds its way to trash?
Ah! 'Tis a fair and just world we live in. If only everyday would be just about one simple decision..'to print or not to print'
in time for earth day !!!!!!!!!!!!!
in college we have only one slogan..say no to exams and thereby save paper..!!but the college management neva allows us to..

Lol...
All the best for your task ;)
the most entertaining 'save the environment' post i've ever read...kudos!:)
We have a similar situation in the UK at the moment with the general election pending.My front mat is constantly covered with party leaflets with each of them including environmental issues high on their agenda.
I will be tackling the subject on my cartoon blog tomorrow.
Incidentally, thanks for your continued support - your links make such a difference to my visitor numbers.
n all i can do is sympathize with u :)
A valid point using humor. :)
If we stop printing who will plant all those pulp trees that create all that oxygen we need to breath?
The printing industry is keeping us alive providing the demand for more trees - who else can claim that. Bet ya'll didn't think about that did yah?
Some inspiration for your next Chinese movie, Anjolie:
fried enema, monolithic tree mushroom stem squid or “The Jew’s Ear Juice.”
