paperless society - who me?

At work, we are (like all other companies, I hope) trying to cut down on waste and one measure is to stop needlessly printing out emails. However, it is still true that most staff have notebooks that are taken to meetings.
I remember reading an article years ago that heralded the advent of the paperless office. But paper is still so much easier to handle in many situations.
And at home? Well, I have just bought a new bookcase, to hold my overflowing collection of books - crime novels, books on science, geography and travel, religion, cookery and education. I find nothing more relaxing than curling up with a good book. Especially after a day spent staring at a computer screen!

I agree that we'll never be a fully paperless society. We're still going to need something to wipe our backsides on. You can't use an iPad for that, can you?

Depends on your view of the iPad of course. To be a bit greener, why not reach for the nearest pile of dried leaves
