Paper Mountain

I have today received 25 separate envelopes from a leading provider of continuing professional development, addressed to various individual members of the Lincoln branch of this firm.

No doubt our two other offices have also received correspondence.The company provides excellent courses, but it seems to have little control on the amount of literature it sends out.

This firm, as I imagine do most others, has a training partner, and we have repeatedly asked this training company to regularly send one set of literature to our training partner, so that she can consider the training needs of the firm.

Despite this, we regularly receive mountains of paperwork, and the vast majority of this goes straight in the recycling bin.

If, as I imagine, the trainers are deluging firms up and down the country with their paperwork, one can imagine without difficulty, that the paper generated must be colossal.

While I am aware of the arguments regarding sustainable tree forests, surely in this modern technological world, something can be done to reduce our paper mountain?
