Writing using Paper & Pencil - Or Greener Options?

Just finished one more tablet full of information - the next choice is to go green and electronic or buy more tablets? Thoughts?


Some may say they rather the classic idea of a writer, who is using a tablet and a pencil to write out his thoughts to one day bring them all together, to write a book or a novel, a big that will last through the ages. 

In today's society though I wonder is it more important to make an attempt for a greener approach or continue the way I always have in the simple effort of writing out a sentence on a piece of paper instead of on a word processing screen, or a blog entry. 

Does it make sense to make that change, so that you and the person in the mirror can make a choice to do what is possible to help the environment be better for the next generation? In putting forth effort today, in the present to decrease your use of paper that was once a tree? What are your thoughts? Share them in the comments.

100 Things to Watch in 2010 (and the 40 That Might Matter to Your Business) : Marketing :: American Express OPEN Forum

11. Electronic Libraries
Digital books are fast becoming available to the public for free: Libraries are starting to lend e-books and downloadable audio books that patrons can access from home; Google is working with authorities on its controversial plan to create the world’s biggest digital library; and the EU’s i2010 initiative includes a digital libraries program.

Interesting thing that is actually one of my New Years Resolutions to decrease, paper usage after watching ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqxENMKaeCU )that spoke about, the eucalyptus trees that are often used for making of paper and how they don't help the environment, more is spoke about ( http://homeofknatchwa.posterous.com/tag/video ) and so in my own view it seems that should be the future.

100 Things and 40 That Matter

France’s Joie de Vivre Index, initiated by President Nicolas Sarkozy, is intended to provide a better assessment of well-being than the classic measure of economic health, the GDP. Look for more countries or companies to embrace alternative measures of prosperity, such as the Triple Bottom Line of people, profits and planet.

Great point of view, and solid on the triple bottom line, consider all aspects of the world is better then to just focus on one, that would otherwise be profit based.
