Margin of error

From term papers to office memos most of us would consider the 1-inch margin to be the standard. But do we really need all that white space crisply framing our words on paper? If we reduced our margins to 0.5-inches not only would we personally (home office or students) or collectively (outside-world office) benefit with the extra green in our wallet but we would be saving some natural green ... trees! A noble cause if I do say so myself. The fact is if a 100-person office downsized their margins they would see a savings of $500 annually. Likewise, the average co-worker would save 475 sheets of paper each year! Combine that with re-using already printed upon paper and recycling and this could make quite the impact. If you don't know how to change your settings yourself this site will help and if you want to sign a petition to get Microsoft to change the default settings of future computers produced check this out. Here is to a paper-saving movement in your office in 2008!
