I've always thought that the best way to get people to protect the environment is to come up with ideas that are convenient and mutually beneficial. I believe it is very idealistic to believe that everyone is going to increase their environmental awareness just out of the kindness of their heart. So when an idea comes along like GreenPrint, it peaks my interest. GreenPrint is a software that reduces the amount of paper that we waste in printing by allowing us to eliminate that pesky extra page that always seems to print out from internet sites that has 1 line of text. Technically, there is a lot more to the software then that. More specifically, the software essentially is a print previewer that allows you to edit one last time before you print. You can remove legal jargon from something you are printing, consolidate pages, and even use it to create PDF files. The main benefit though is that in printing less you will save paper and ink, and more importantly the environment. And as you have probably guessed… saving paper and ink means you will save money as well, which is something the software tracks for you. There is a free version of the software available. So give it a shot and spread the word.
