Re: [96attendees] Please stop killing trees with pre-printed agendas

Printing one yourself will be less environmentally friendly as you will use an entire sheet of A4 instead of getting 3 agendas on a single sheet.

Hello folks,

I think the printed agendas are great and use them every day during the meetings.

I guess I could do print one myself given my limited expertise with Microsoft Word.  That's yet another thing to do, during a time when there are already so many things needing attention.  I have a hard time understanding why it's claimed to be too expensive or wasteful, compared to (say) the food we didn't eat.

Regards,
Charlie P.
