If a book is completely dog eared and torn, it means it's being read. That sends the message to me that I NEED to read the book.
Libraries and books have survived for centuries without plastic binders. Tell the Oakland Library that I'll send them my copy if theirs becomes too dog eared. Or, they can add a sticker that says, "We realize that by adding this un-neccesary cover that we are adding to the problem of plastic pollution."
What goes around comes around -- the globe.
GG I agree. It's not easy to make your points when you can't see the people who you are talking with on the panel.
SmlFootprints - you're welcome, but I didn't do all that amazing work, I just shared it, please do the same if you like.
Thanks for the comment Kat; when you flip the genders and the result becomes comedy you know that it's time for a reality check. It will be nice to see if you can change your conference name each year - 4%, 5%, 6%...
