Wastes paper, huh! The computer was touted to save paper but that's
udder BS... just look at all the computer generated [junk] mail
everyone receives... the computer wastes more paper than ever.
Generally junk mail is printed on better than average grade paper and
most are printed on one side. I save all those with blank backs for
printing crossword puzzels, etc., so paper is not wasted if I print a
recipe on already used paper. About the only recipes I print are
those someone asks for... once I've read a recipe I never need to read
it again, the concept is permanently etched in my brain waiting for me
to expand on it. I don't cook with recipes, following recipes stifle
ones creativity and ensure one never learns to cook... following a
recipe is NOT cooking the same as paint by numbers is NOT art. All
yoose following recipes step by step are no more a cook than a kid
with a coloring book and Crayolas is an artist... staying within the
lines is exactly the same as following recipes.
I use very little new paper, I've been working on the same ream for
about ten years now... more than 99% of my printing is on the backs of
junk mail and all those blank backs from utility, insurance, and
government agency mailings... by far the most wasted paper is
generated by medical mailings, every Rx generates about ten pages of
useless drivel all printed on one side, and each refill generates the
same waste of paper over and over. They even include envelopes that I
toss in the trash. There is so much wasted paper that arrives by
snail mail that the most used appliance in this house is a cross cut
micro shredder... even with those I use the backs for crossword
puzzels the fronts have all my personal information, so I shred.
Anyone needs a great shredder:
