'Go green, do not Print' - BUT using paper cups ??

National Recycling Week at my ex-company’s client office. The Client company is very well known for its Eco-friendly business inventions/implementations around the world. But I often discuss my colleague about the unknown reason why the company is not keen on saving Paper water cups by replacing Plastic or Glass tumbler(s).

One day someone made a notable work to let them know that ‘Save-Paper quote’ will not do miracles on email signatures.. (Go Green ! Print Only When Necessary!!)

The story in conversation as follows:
Kuldeep: (came back from rest room) “Rajeesh, Hemanth, did you see the Rest room wall.? Someone has pasted a paper commenting about Paper Saving. It’s funny.” (He then gave me a doubtful stare.) 
Me & Hemanth: “What dude. What’s so funny. What did you see over there.?” 
Kuldeep: A comment is made using Paper Water Cup itself. You go and see it” 
Hemanth: Kuldeep, Do you know who did that ??” 
Kuldeep: (again stared at me and said) “It should be this guy only. Who else will do this mischief here??” 
Me: “Arey Kuldeep. I’m very good fellow yaar. Why should I do that.?” 
Kuldeep: “You were the one who used to talk about Paper Saving in this business machine company. No doubt you are the mischievous prank.” 
Hemanth: he he he ;)” 

In few minutes, the Housekeeping team with their Manager were seen rushing the Rest room. (Emergency situation for them. he..he..)
We went after some time to see the status and saw the things were removed from there..

Note: The photos were taken even before Kuldeep could see that [i.e. right after it was pasted :) :) ]

This post is not just for fun and believe me there are several good things in using a Paper Cup, but in the same time try avoid wasting Paper cups. Practice to keep a PET bottle at office desk or in your bag, so that we no longer need to rely on any kind of cups. Paper Saving is in other ways saving recycled paper too.. 

I read on Pintrest that "Americans use an estimated 16 BILLION paper coffee cups annually. That’s over 6.5 MILLION trees cut down per year! Paper cups also generate 253 million pounds of solid waste per year; 4 billion gallons of water are used in the paper cup production process per year. That’s enough to fill about 6,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools!" 

Tomorrow its none other than our next generation who will use the products that we save!
