Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
This post isn't very political, though it's environmentally friendly:
I try not to print things very often, but when I do, I use the back of already-printed-upon paper if at all possible.
At the delegate election meeting this last weekend, somebody asked me if there was a recycle bin around to collect all of the campaign literature that people had put out. I didn't see one, so I quickly grabbed a marking pen, wrote "Recycle/Reuse Paper Here" on a manila folder I had brought, and started a pile on top.
By the time I left, I had a big stack of brightly colored paper to take home and feed to the printer, give to the kids to do art projects, etc.
Only a few of the sheets were white paper, alas.
Does anybody know of any sources for good condition, printed-on-one-side office paper? Maybe somebody who works in an office where they waste a lot of paper, and they'd like to see it go to better use than the recycle bin or trash? (Obviously, it would need to be non-confidential material!)
If so, I'll be happy to take a ream or five of it! Please drop me a line (dan followed by the current year at karelia dot-com).
... And now we return you back to the usual left-handed lib-rul musings ....
