Sanford Goes Paperless for a day: Earth Day

Sanford Goes Paperless for a day: Earth Day

HOCKESSIN, Del. - April 22, 2008 (WPVI) -- It is Earth Day and one school in Delaware had a pretty unique way to mark the occasion. They decided to say no to paper.

Students at the Sanford School planted trees outside today. But inside, Earth Day went one giant leap farther. The printer remained empty, with a symbolic stack of paper at its side. The copy machine was empty too, as students and teachers went paperless for the day.

It was a senior at Sanford who thought going paperless would be a perfect way to celebrate earth day. And while going completely paperless was deemed impossible, students and teachers found a way to make it work.

Senior Suchit Tuli tells us, "It's different, during morning meeting instead of having announcements written on paper, in lieu of that we had a projector set up and the announcements were on that, so I think it's different."

@esbeesue first of all, we cant stop natural disasters, we can however control how much paper we use. 2nd Sanford has a required community service day (ie 'help/love a human day') on MLK day instead of the day off.

Humans have paperless days/earth days/do not use electricity days. Planet Earth responds with Japan quakenami, countless tornadoes, floods, volcano eruptions, and other natural disasters that destroy trees/natural resources by the millions and of course some humans lost their lives but they're not that important. Now billions of $ in natural resources will have to be used to rebuild. How about schools having love a human day or help a homeless person day.

Perhaps they should teach kids how to love a human rather than a tree which has no feelings.

Our school had paperless day  the same day as the Japan quakenami. Besides the loss of human life, thousands of trees and other resources were destroyed. So tell me- how did the few papers we were so proud of not using help save the planet when natural disasters cause billions of dollars in destruction. And not to mention all those precious resources that wil have to be used to rebuild.
