Paper… yep it’s inescapable … we use it constantly to communicate and to maintain records. It’s used in packaging materials, cleaning products, even occasionally as a food ingredient. It’s certainly a necessary resource.

But do we have to use so darn much?

Some people save practically everything in paper form. Now, I’m not talking about the sentimental stuff like old concert ticket stubs or birthday cards. I’m referring to those of us who keep piles of memo’s from ’05 that they still haven’t gotten around to reading , their dry cleaning bills for the past decade, Us Weekly’s from the Jen Aniston and Brad era… some people may call these folks hoarders, I call ‘em paper junkies.
