Going Paperless is something I’ve concentrated on a bit in recent years, though its something I can keep improving on. Jennifer asked me to participate in this meme. I have tried to comment on her blog, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do so. In any case, this is a worthy topic and I’m glad to accept her invitation to share my thoughts.

I need to journal. I have always needed to do that, ever since I was a little girl. I didn’t keep any of those child’s journals, but I did keep those from my early adulthood and frankly, its a pain to have that box of history floating around in a closet. I don’t like it. And when blogging came to my attention, I jumped at it. I still keep some things in a paper journal. Those things are when I am at a ceremony, when a pc is just not the right way to capture an inspirational thought or the words of a teacher that I need to remember. So I’ve not eliminated all paper out of my journal process, but these times are once or twice a year now, so I’m virtuously paper free.

I use cloth napkins.

I pay my bills online.

I use dishes instead of paper plates and cups when I picnic.

I use write emails instead of letters.
