Green is The Word, Act II

Greetings fellow Timbers!

So far, our recycling efforts are going well. The
container in the kitchen is now labeled, " glass,
plastic, tin, aluminum", to remind those who might
forget what goes into it. (Actually, the next time
Sierra empties that container, the plastic bag will no
longer be and the label will be visible). And don't
forget to rinse out those cans, bottles, etc.

Additionally,  the shredder will be labeled  with what
exactly should be going there- anything with our
prices, banking info of our customers, etc.- and
nothing else. It costs more money to shred than to
recycle, and it seems that some items are being
shredded that don't need to be.

Now for the next installment of The Word!
I would like to start reusing some of the paper that we
currently recycle. Sample requests, fax call reports,
fax activity logs are the ones that come to mind.
Actually, anything that doesn't go into the shredder
AND is in good enough condition (no tear marks, etc.)
would work. As for a place to store such paper,  those
in the front of the office can simply place them on the
top of my  black filing shelf to the right of my desk
(it's labeled in CAPITALS). For those in the rest of
the office, you can place them in the slot above and
left of the fax machine, labeled "PAPER TO BE RE-USED".
This paper will in turn be used in the CS printer,
which doesn't generate much in the way of any printing
that needs a clean backside.

If there are any other suggestions for which paper
could be used this way, let me know and we'll add it
to The Word.


Your Savior for all things Green,
