Green is The Word, Act III - BUSTED!

Greetings Fellow Timbers!

GOOD NEWS FIRST!
I'm proud to announce that all the standard order
checklists coming from Customer Service are being
printed on reclaimed/reused paper!

YEAH!
And it's Friday!! YEEEEAAAAH!!!

Now for the bad news.......(that was quick...)

It has come to my attention that not all Timbers
are following The Word, as suggested by the High
Priest. The last installment of The Word discussed the
re-using of our waste office paper. However, the High
Priest and His disciples have been on the dirty
low-down and discovered that AT LEAST six of the
eleven Timbers taking up space at 1611 4th Street in
San Rafael are not setting aside paper that could be
re-used.
I won't name names........this time around........
But be aware that the High Priest is watching you like
a hawk......uh.......I mean High Priest.
You know who you are- I know where you sit.

So perhaps I need to go over again exactly what can be
re-used. Examples include duplicate order checklists,
fax cover sheets that don't contain any pertinent
information, pull orders that are not needed, receiver
sheets, TOTALLY UNUSED employee expense reports,
TOTALLY UNUSED resale tax exempt information sheets
(note these last two items could have been used as
intended), news articles that have been printed,
outdated clearance price lists, used employee expense
reports. the advertisements that get sent to us via
fax- from pharmaceutical companies to mortgage
companies, inventory management reports, crazy
vacation getaway offers, get-rich-quick offers, and
the like.

Actually, it seems to me that even paper to be
shredded could be used. After all, the paper being
re-used goes directly to the CS printer, which doesn't
usually print anything that's leaving the office. It's
just getting filed somewhere. Any thoughts on this?

I realize that setting aside paper to be re-used is
something not everyone is used to doing and will take
time to make a habit. But we CAN do this!  Perhaps we
need to have the drop-off locations in the office more
convenient?? Let me know if you have suggestions.

I should also point out that ONLY PAPER goes into the
rectangular paper recycling bins. Not gum, not gum
wrappers, not plastic, or anything other than paper
products. Likewise, nothing should go into the "GLASS,
PLASTIC, TIN, ALUMINUM" bin in the kitchen, other than
what it states.

Anyways, no need to confess your sins. Just don't let
it happen again....:-)


Shiver me Timbers- IT'S FRIDAY THE 13TH!
