I have diagnosed ADHD, so I clean my school binders about once a year. It’s my last day of school for this year today, decided to throw it all out, and was met with this horrendous amalgamation of tree pulp. Because the thousands we pay to DataHoover Google yearly for “laptops” and ransomware cloud storage means absolutely nothing. Can’t fucking wait to graduate.
Before full paperless, a college semester for me was a quarter of a small closet stack of paper. By the time I graduated it was a couple of notebooks and a tiny binder not larger than yours. Paper is super recyclable, paper is not what is killing the rainforest, if that is your concern. A single Google data center kills more and wastes more resource than all the tiny paper stacks of each student combined.
