Dear Luc,

You may not. The policy remains clear on this matter, and I do not have the authority to alter it.

Kind regards,

Barbara

Dear Barbara,

Do you not see that this is a problem?

Kind regards,

Luc

Dear Luc,

If you disagree with the policy, you may bring it up at the next directors’ meeting in September.

Kind regards,

Barbara

Dear Barbara,

And until September we’re just not going to use the photocopiers at all?

Kind regards,

Luc

Dear Luc,

The average UK office worker prints 10,000 sheets of paper a year, of which 6,800 are wasted. This is equivalent to 4.8 trees per person. As an ecological charity, CRAPP should be doing its best to reduce printing and photocopying, not enabling it.

Kind regards,

Barbara

Dear Barbara,

While I’m sure we all agree we should reduce waste, I can’t help but feel that there’s a more elegant solution thanturning our office photocopier into the world’s most boring modern art piece.

Kind regards,

Luc

Dear Luc,

The current policies have been set by the directors, and I do not have the authority to alter them.

Kind regards,

Barbara

I was just resigning myself to three months of working in a paperless office with none of the technologies that made paperless offices actually work, when the door opened and Alex Twaddle stuck his head in.

“If this is about the deer…” I began.
