I have found that trying to put eco thinking into my life isnt about massive changes, but lots of little ones. The great thing being that each little change takes little effort, but added together make a massive difference.
And it is easy for anyone to take these little changes on board.
The ink ran out on our printer this morning so got me thinking about how we can save ink. We already use our mis-printed paper as scrap to print drafts and notes on. But that doesnt save ink.
The guys at SPRANQ in the Netherlands spent many a late night and cup of coffee coming up with ecofont, a font which uses 20% less ink than our standard fonts.
When enlarged you can see the way they have created it, with little holes in the letters. But when reduced to our usual writing size it looks no different from fonts such as Arial.
It is an open source font and you can download it here - make little steps towards your green office.
So I am making the little change of setting up my writer template to use eco font, and hopefully it will give us a couple of extra days before we need to change the cartridge next time... and saving pennies for that extra pack of biccies for our afternoon tea...
