Paper Conspiracy???
Posted by Mike on December 10, 2007
We have had some rather disillusioning news here on the paperwaste front today. Unfortunately, I cannot get into the gritty details of it all as I am still fact-finding, but suffice to say we are talking potential conspiracy level… for now, though, I have to keep my mouth shut…
In the meantime, I will give you a little good news. A student came up and asked if we had the capabilities to do double-sided printing. I told him we are not equipped to do so and that because he was conscientious enough to ask, I would make a free copy for him behind the counter. Technically this was an abuse of my powers as Talbott Library’s Adminstrative Associate and even a rationalization of the greater-green-good.
Perhaps I will be reprimanded for the act. I sincerely hope so. I think it is totally inexcusable that the library, the temple of knowledge and ideals that it is, fails to offer double-sided printing.
Upon making the copy for the student, I implored that he write an email to me and Dean of the libraries drawing attention to the matter. Hopefully the student will. If I am reprimanded (or whatever), I’ll take my seat along with other great environmental anti-heros like Swamp Thing.
I have a nice Swamp Thing essay I’m working on, by the way. Hopefully I will post it here in a day or two. Till then, keep reading, paperfaithful.
