Since we were quite busy with all kinds of receptions, ceremonies, and our own presentations I didn’t get a chance to get to many other concurrent sessions. The school board members I traveled with did get to a few however and were particularly impressed with Green Fingerprints: Leaving our Mark on the Planet by Marina Light from the Center for Digital Education.
As one of the panel to help decide which sessions were accepted to T+L this year I remember the group discussing the need for this topic to be a part of this year’s conference and in the future. I was glad to hear our school board members caught this one and are now motivated to start encouraging more programs in conservation and environmental issues at our school. We do a good job with this but I believe we have some new ideas that we can use here. I encourage everyone to start by placing a reminder in their email signature – something like “Please consider the environment before printing this email” and see if that makes a difference in your paper consumption.
