  • "Paper-use: The average office worker could save 475 sheets of paper per year by reducing their margins from the default setting of 1 in to 0.50 in." - Ideal Bite, internet, Dec 2007.

  • Dear god -- how much paper is the average office worker using?

    What ever happened to the paperless office? I probably use 14 sheets of paper a year. Put my printer in the closet, I use it so rarely.

    Then again, I'm neither an office worker, nor average :-)

  • I'm sorry but the concept of paperless office has gone all 404 on us. Why don't we email the slack bastards who sold this pup at corporate@moneygrubbers.world and give them a piece of our mind?

  • Oh, I feel so virtuous. I've already changed my margins. Now if everyone would just print on both sides....

    *delighted to be cutting down on worldwide paper use*

  • Haha, reminds me of my boss at the company where I maintain the corporate web site...

    Him: "Print out every page of the site, I'll write the changes I want on the printouts and give them to you, and then you can type what I wrote and upload the revisions."

    Me: "How about if I just e-mail you the digital files and let you modify them in Word? Then you can e-mail them back to me."

    Him: "But I want to use Sharpies and highlighters in lots of pretty colors!"

    Me: "Word has bold text and lots of pretty colors."

    Him: "Oh? Really? Show me."
