More numbers would be helpful. The examples you used were kind of vague. You have no idea how big the school is.

Um, I wrote, “One report notes that a school in New York, in just one year, used 28 pounds of paper per each student and teacher in the school.” and linked to other reports within this blog. Not sure what else you need here.

Ok, there is one thing wrong with this website. There isn’t enough information! You should show a number of how much materials are being wasted each year. I think it is a huge problem when I go on the internet and can’t find what i need it is a disgrace on our modern day technology!

That’s a cool idea Char – I don’t envy the person who has to keep track of who is youngest, but it’s a great way to cut down on waste. When I was a kid my two sibs and I always brought home stuff in triplicate.

Hey, you know, I never knew you were keystrokes and weary parent Char. That’s odd. I can’t put two and two together I guess.

One thing our kids school has started doing is only sending home general, school wide notes to the youngest member of the family. This means that the school newsletter that is 2 pages long only comes home with my Kindergartner in her folder, not with her 4th grade sister too. The younger kids tend to bring papers home more successfully.

Technology, for all it’s environmental drains has also improved certain situations – the one you mention being major. With a computer there’s less work done on paper. Do you have to send in homeschool records in your state?

awesome thoughts. My kids do their reports and theme papers on a word program and email them to me. I grade them, make comments, and email them back. They make corrections and email them to me..and then we save them on a cd thingie. AT the end of the yeah..voila! a whole year of school records.
Much easier to file this way than when I first started 18 years ago!
