Paperless is NOT green
I’m getting pretty tired of listening to agents boast about being paperless thus calling themselves “green.”
First of all- something is substituted for paper. Usually a device that is electronic – more than likely built from petroleum products and run (charged) with coal.
I have no problem with plastic and electronics- But I don’t call myself “green.”
Secondly- Paper comes from trees. New growth trees with flat leaves (not pine trees) gobble up carbon monoxide and expel oxygen. Tree farms are good for the environment and economy.
Green is a lifestyle. Green is also a word that is bandied about, often by those who don’t live a lifestyle anything remotely close to green.
Disclaimer – I am far from paperless and don’t call myself green. I recycle, compost, grow and raise most of my own food (shredded paper is great mulch) and have set aside 6 acres of my own property as a waterfowl habitat in conjunction with my county.
