What a Difference a Font Makes

May 16, 2015 Comments Off on What a Difference a Font Makes

Use 30% less ink when printing by using the Century Gothic font.  Of course, if using that font causes you to use extra sheets of paper, the Green benefits are questionable. If there’s only a line or two on the second page, though, often a little adjusting of margins on all four sides pulls them up onto the first page.

Truth or Lie–Doesn’t Matter

April 18, 2015 Comments Off on Truth or Lie–Doesn’t Matter

On this Earth Day, the debate continues: Is global warming a lie? Common sense says that the ever-increasing numbers of humans sharing our planet means quicker depletion of its resources, especially if we waste them.

Even if I assume that earth’s ruin still lies years ahead, it makes sense to try to prevent it, or at least put it off even farther.   I can start with small steps.  I can’t afford a hybrid car, but I can avoid Styrofoam, disposable diapers, incandescent bulbs, and toxic garden chemicals.  I can adjust my thermostat to more efficient levels and do a better job at recycling, especially flashlight batteries and engine oil.  I can air-dry at least some of my laundry.  Why, I could go vegetarian once a week!  I could even go  to www.Smashwords.com and download a free copy of Jackie’s Green Riches: Help the Earth and Your Budget  so I can get ideas on easy steps I can take.  None of this is hard.  But it IS a start.
