DRAFT MODE

Green printing is no longer for the active environmentalist | if you don't already have a kitchy saying at the end of your email like:

$ please consider the environment before printing this email
$ save paper: think before you print
$ don’t print this, OK?
$ how many trees must be lost so you can print your e-mail? print responsibly
$ paper free = happy tree (my own sentiment and obvious favorite)

then feel free to do a good deed and add any of these green footers to your signature | but back to the point...you can save not only trees and paper, but INK, super expensive printer ink | here are a few tips:

$ set your printer (or print software) to Draft Mode and/or print Double-sided (yes, you can figure out which way the paper needs to go in to print on the back side of the page and put a nice little note on your printer as a reminder)
$ Inksaver software for Windows only lets you control the amount of ink your printer uses, helping you save up to 75% of your ink.
$ Greenprint software for Mac and Windows weeds out pages you don't want to print
$ add Ecofont to your list for a free typeface for Mac or PC that's designed to use as little ink as possible but is still readable

It takes a little to save alot so make a simple and mostly free choice to do just a little bit more and a little bit better than you did yesterday.
