Texas/New Mexico Stateline | A little bit of a tangent, but I remember hearing a story recently about a high school kid that looked into his school saving ink and toner. It was a large city wide district and he figured out they could be saving tens of thousands of dollars by just changing all their default printer fonts to thin, sans serif typefaces. As opposed to Times New Roman. Thousands of reams of paper printed each year, that little fraction of extra ink adds up. He got some kind of national award for his report.
I think our local convenience store has figured this out, as their pumps are always out of paper when I pay at the pump and want a receipt. 90% of customers don't want a receipt anyway, why waste the paper?
