One resolution I have for the year 2012 is to go paperless.
Paperless - less paper usage as I define it.
I wish I could go all out indeed, but that's easier said than done. Growing up with a teaching to take down notes in school and to record everything that's going on in your life thru paper - then suddenly you stop and switch, that's HARD. Coz if there's one thing that I despise most, its the change of my everyday routine. I am obsessive compulsive, everything has to be laid out and organized properly or else i go loco (I'm still flexible though, I still like surprises and I'm still spontaneous most of the time - its just with my schedule and routine that I'm OC). I tend to stick to what I am used to, tend to be obsessed with my routine making it hard for me to adapt to change, especially when its out of my comfort zone.
This year, Im doing a drastic change with how I take down notes and plot my schedules. I got myself a Samsung Galaxy Note with an optimistic perception and determination to help save mother Earth. By using the S Planner to manage my complicated schedule and S Memo & S Pen to write my notes - I am actually more productive because I am on it anytime, anywhere. Though there are times that I feel the urge to revert back to a plain old organizer (paper & pen) , there's this voice inside me that keeps reminding how many trees are cut down just to produce paper. In my country, I've seen the negative effect of barren forest and I think if we continue with our lifestyle now, its a disaster waiting to happen. I am not trying to be a hero, I just want to make a change thru my own little ways, and hope to inspire others as well. I know technology has its own pros and cons, but as I see it, integrating my lifestyle with technology has a bigger chance for sustainability.
Its time for me to get out of my comfort zone and stretch myself.
I'm not techy, but I'll try my best to stick to this advocacy of mine.
Reduce.Reuse.Recycle - Go Sustainability.
