Schools are where dead trees go

School uses up an extraordinary amount of paper daily, by both students and teachers and other staffs. Multiply that amount for all the schools in Singapore, and add on to the paper consumption in Singapore's offices, and imagine how much trees have died for us.

Thing is, so much of that paper is unnecessary. Time management tips for teachers advocates that papers should, as much as possible, be read and pass through your hands only once. There's a management chart that helps you decide where to route the paper to, and eventually the ideal situation is for the paper to be deemed irrelevant and be destroyed, or filed up somewhere and not be read again as far as possible.

Save the trees!
