One Small Green Step You Can Take – Ban Paper Calendars

With the new year almost here, it’s a great time to take this small step. Ban those paper calendars forever. Paper calendars are an ultimate eco-baddie, because you always need a new one. Every year you’re replacing paper with new paper. If everyone quit buying paper calendars, imagine how many trees we could save.

Other ideas:

Go digital. Use your pda, computer, cell phone, what have you. All these items have handy calendars – usually included in basic software programs. If not, you can always create your own, using say, Word and the table maker. Or you can buy calendar program, some people like Outlook. I hate Outlook (long story), but you can also try one of these options.
