Save a tree with Greenprint
by Brad Linder Apr 25th 2007 at 2:00PM
How often do you try to print a website only to find that it prints a couple of extra pages with nothing but URLs and banner ads? Greenprint is a commercial utility that analyzes your print jobs and strips away pages that are essentially blank, saving you paper.At $35, it could take a while for a home user to save enough paper for the program to pay for itself. But there's an enterprise version available for $70 that provides a few extra features, like the number of trees saved and CO2 emissions saved. The software's 50% off for educational institutions and environmental non-profits.

Do I have to remind the WHOLE WORLD that we grow trees to make paper in the same way that we grow potatos to make chips.
So by using (unrecycled) paper you are ordering new trees to be planted.
