1. At Office 365 it is Easy to be Green | Office 365

   For tips on becoming a 'Greener' office and for a full range of eco-friendly products, read the following article - (@Office365)

   Tweedle Dee says: "If you’re reading this, you must be interested in reducing waste." I think the only effective way to reduce waste is to stop buying, stop consuming. Fill your time with non-consumption based activities and at the office become virtual in everything: ie: NO PAPER!

   Tweedle Dum says: Way too much clicking for me. I was already three clicks in for just one type of product and I still saw no way to buy, no prices. What happens if I was looking for more than one thing? A thousand clicks by the time I am done? Or 365? No thanks!

1. : Office Supply Stores Now Offering Shredding Services.

   Today at Simple.Organized.Life. ->: Office Supply Stores Now Offering Shredding Services. (@thegoodhuman)

   Tweedle Dee says: Getting rid of your shredder: "And because I am on a quest to get rid of everything in my house/life that doesn’t serve some sort of purpose."

   Now that is a really stupid idea! A shredder at home is probably one of the few things that you do need. In stead this poor sap plans to take his papers to OfficeMax for shredding.. instead of having a little machine in his home (he claims a home shredder is a GIANT machine!). Anyway here are the risks:

   • The folder he saves his stuff to be shredded in is stolen
   • The folder he saves his stuff in flies out the window when he drives to OfficeMax
   • Party guests sneak a peak at his to shred folder
   • Some sneaky employees at OfficeMax figure out how to review documents before shredding them!!!

   Tweedle Dum says: My goodness, get rid of Goliath and get a small personal shredder! Why waste the gas to go to a friend's or the local office supply store? You would spend less on a small shredder!

1. Staples.com® | Staples Soul - Recycling

   RT @Ecosaveology: EWASTE: Staples - All brands of office tech products ewaste accepted: (@zahirah)

   Tweedle Dee says: I think the best way to recycle is not to consume to begin with. The problem is over consumption and use of artificial materials. What you do use, make sure it is natural and unprocessed so there are not any issues with it being reprocessed back into nature.

   Tweedle Dum says: I wonder if they really know what happens to all of the e-waste after it leaves their store? Do they really know if it is recycled responsibly?
