• siemens india says “no CTRL P” on world earth day, 22nd april 2010

  Monday, April 19, 2010 by Sudhir MD

  on world earth day 2010, we renew our commitment as comrades and co-activists to mother earth by switching off all the network printers across over 15 major offices in india.

  no, its not a holiday, we havent switched to rock engraving or graffiti! on this day, we are switching to digital storage devices such as USB drives, memory sticks, digital scans, emails and the likes for transporting data.

  what motivated us to take this step? its some facts like these:
  • for every ton of copier paper, 2-3 tons of trees are cut in some forests, somewhere
  • though there’s this concerted effort towards using recycled paper and the likes, about 71% of the world’s paper supply still comes from forests = more trees facing the axe
  • one tree approximately takes over 30 years to fully grow, before it could be cut for making paper

  stark and raw. arent they? share the word, spread the awareness. stop reckless printing. save trees.

  Yes, this is truly a great start.
  this initiative should spread like a virus to all other IT Companies and other business sectors.

  This should not be limited to 22nd only, it should increase in number of days and eventually we may hope that Microsoft shall remove Ctrl+P event.
