Vote: Would you ask people to trim their paper waistlines?

Two times in the last month, I have received e-mails from people that have little taglines underneath their signatures like this.

“Please consider the environment before printing.”

“Save Trees. Print only when necessary.”

According to this article, this phenomenon is about a year old, which makes sense, because often things take a while before they get to Rockford.

From a Google search, it appears many think this is a silly thing to do. That was my first reaction. Like, “Well, duh!” But I know a few people in my office who print out just about everything. And there the poor printer sits, with piles of unclaimed printouts each day, waiting to be recycled on the other side.
