Talking with someone the other day and I said I was going to print out documents to bring to something and they reacted like I had just said I was going to do something highly immoral. “Dude, you like to kill trees. Thant’s cool I guess”

I think I’m more pro environment than a lot of people but man, that annoyed me.

Maybe I’m just too behind with the times

You were talking with an idiot. There are many of them in this world. Move along.

I’d be more offended that this person didn’t receive an education.

I hate my wife’s printing habit. 99% of it she never looks at.

Should have pointed out any leather they were wearing and called them a murderer.

Maybe you’re too sensitive.

Relax Francis. It’s a figure of speech.

Paper and lumber companies plant more trees than anyone else. That guy is a fricking retard.

The trees cut down to make paper are grown on tree farms where as they were growing were providing oxygen and eating C02. No wild trees are harmed.

Had a professor spend about 15 min railing the Trump Admin for rolling back EPA restrictions.

Then made us print out 450 pages of notes

If you are printing for no reason, I’m pissed that you’re wasting value in paper and ink/toner. But, as had already been mentioned, bulk copy paper isn’t made from clear cutting wild forests. That guy is an idiot.

in fact, i spend all my break time by the printer, looking at people's stuff and deciding if they deserve to be scolded or not

In these situations just respond with the affirmative.

"Well yeah, i do like to kill trees. They deserve it for what they did to my parents."

Do you not realize the harm to the environment farm-raised trees present?

I only use locally sourced, wild caught tree paper.

An older guy I work with always prints out copies for everyone of documents he had already sent out for meetings. We all just throw them in the trash.

Not only do I kill trees, I burn them to flavor the animals I eat.

Tell your coworker that 4 million trees are planted daily. 36% more trees are planted than removed
