I’ve noticed that we use a lot of paper.  Not just here at home, or in the office, but as a complete society.  We LOVE paper!  When Teri and I go to the arts & crafts stores, Teri likes to go into the scrapbooking aisle and see what new and exciting papers they have there for her to buy and add to her stash of scrapbooking paper.  I have to admit that there are a lot of very pretty papers available for scrapbooking!

I like to use a variety of papers in my printer, depending on what kind of “effect” I want to have on the person receiving the paper (assuming it is a letter or professional proposal.)  I like to use recycled paper whenever possible; it makes me feel like I’m making a difference in the efforts to keep the world from self-destruction!

I recently found out from the paper-papers.com website that I can buy paper made from cotton!  I was looking at that website and was impressed with the wide selection of papers that they sell.  I wonder if that is more eco-friendly than recycled paper?  I’ll have to ask my nephew Jon, who seems to know all about that kind of thing!  He’s been studying Environmental Engineering at Princeton and it seems that every time I see him he’s telling me things about the newest efforts to keep the world’s pollution problems at a minimum.
