And if you do, have a box nearby. When you’re done with your paper, let the kids use it for coloring.

Good post!

I just found out what a stapleless stapler is! It’s a little gizmo punches a little hole through your pages and it somehow folds the little flaps together to make it secure. Sounds sophisticated but neat.

I also leave my color cartridge empty. I don’t print anything in color. If I need the rare color printed item, I just go a Office Max or something. I do have to print things off at times, but I rarely have to send a hard copy of anything. I probably print more coloring pages for my kids than I print for my writing work.

And all this data we’re sending across the net is stored somewhere, namely electricity guzzling servers.

I don’t know which is worse honestly.

Thx for spreading the green word(s).

I was laughing through Marie E’s first comment because I’m working on a blog post to that very effect–how my grandparents lived “green” and taught me to do so as well because they had to! Now it makes it all that much easier for me to do things like use both sides of the paper and every scrap from junk mail, etc., because that’s just how I grew up.

Those life lessons from my grandparents just keep on givin’

@Adam – I’ll have to checkout Green Print. I try to remember to not hit the general print button but to tell my printer to print page one only so I can avoid unwanted stray pages, but this program sounds like it could help in other areas. Do you use it?
