Think green, print green!

To be honest, I’m not the most ecologic person. However, a few months ago, when I saw the huge piles of books and papers I had to study, I came to notice that maybe I could reduce my ecological footprint by reducing the amount of documents I print weekly. Good intentions, right?

Unfortunately, I failed.

So now, quite some time later, I was browsing the Internet and this new green product immediately caught my eye: the pencil printer. This laser printer works on pencil cartridges instead of ink cartridges. And there’s more! To erase your mistakes, it uses an eraser. And there’s even more! It’s possible to recycle the paper, in the sense that you can reuse it as many times as you want. The first thing that came to mind when I saw this printer, is that it could offer me the opportunity to make my good intentions come true. It could also brighten up my life because, when my ink cartridge is empty, I have to order new ones online, which really bums me out because it mostly takes more than a week before they are delivered. With the new pencil printer, I will be free from this burden, since I only need pencils and an eraser.

As you can probably notice, I’m really fond of this innovation. That being said, I believe that as far as goes the ecologic aspect, it can still be taken to a higher level. The printer now works on electricity. However, to become a true nature lover, it can be worked out using solar power. That would make the (green) circle complete!

That's all folks! Blog you later!
