With printing, regardless of today's age and technology that promotes 'paperless' transactions, and online document review and filling of forms without necessitating the printing of hard copies that are later trashed and add to the pollution and continued deforestation for commercial paper production, old habits of printing still dominate. I hope 'old school' readers that still believe in hard copies read this blog. On long lasting light bulbs, I like the policy position taken by the power utility in Zimbabwe of offering consumers subsidized CFLs.
