Some green suggestions
Want to do more for the environment? Why not:- ask your employer to let you work at home for one or more days a week
- visit online editions of newspapers rather than creating more dead tree press
- ask for documents to be sent to you electronically rather than in paper form
- scan any paper documents you receive
- if you are a subscriber to The Actuary magazine, why not ask them to stop sending you a paper copy, give you a reduced subscription and look at the online issue instead?
