Cut Waste is Bull Shit

Today I witness thousands of paper being wasted to send invitations of our school Open House through snail-mail when a simple crafted e-mail would suffice. Sending through snail-mail would need:

1. Paper
2. Toners
3. Envelopes
4. Stamps
5. Labour to do all of the above.

I queried the Vice-principal and the teacher-in-charge and they agreed sending an e-mail was the way to go. And when I tell the person doing the addressing job that they might not use the printed invitations any more, she broke down because it was a full day work. Shucks, should have kept my mouth shut.
