Wasting Paper

You have seen the news, you have heard the ancedotal stories, but what is really going on with paper usafge in this country?

The Government passed the Paperwork Reduction Act, which really didn't do anything to reduce the use of paper in the Government. In fact, the Government itself causes more paper usage by all the new and numerous regulations it passes. Point-in-case; have you recently tried to buy or refinance your home?

The "Paper-less Office", actually caused 40% MORE paper to be used.

Now, we even have the paper manufacturers calling out for us to "print more", which also benefits the ink cartridge manufacturers with their $50 printer ink,

Why does this seem like the OPPOSITE of what SHOULD be happening in a climate where CONSERVATION is the "name of the game"?
