No Paper for a Day is currently under construction, but we are building a non-profit initiative that will change the way you use paper.  We want to encourage visitors to reduce paper consumption but are hoping to make an impact at three levels:

• reduction in personal paper use
• reduction in print oriented paper use (in media and education)
• reduction in packaging of comsumer goods

We invite you to browse our blog entries and contribute comments and ideas that will help further our mission.  This site will strive to be a dynamic and evolving idea centre…

Ultimately, we will be planning a nationwide day promoting a reduction in paper use:  reducing your carbon footprint and allowing you to explore alternatives that could save your company money or make you more efficient.  “No Paper for a Day” will probably be planned around Earth Week and we hope to be a resource for providing alternatives to paper based communication and record keeping.  The event will also become a living experiment creatng new ideas that can be shared throughut our community and user base.

This is my first post and I’ve deliberately left the focus vague – I want to build NPFAD.com with your input so look forward to our “Paper Options” survey and strategy posts that guide our community.  We have also launched a facebook group.

Please email, twitter or rss feed this blog to distribute.  And turn your printer off when viewing
