Do You Take the Paper Trail or the Electronic Trail?

When I moved to my own office space nearly three years ago one of my goals was to have an environmentally friendly space. I have a few plants, a full wall of floor to ceiling glass for lots of natural light and I only run the air or heat on an "as needed" basis. We can do that in Southern California. It is wasteful folly to wear a sweater in the summertime because the office is too cool, or wear a sleeveless dress in the winter to avoid excessive heat.

It is the paper I cannot give up. Yes, it's true I have a dependency on paper. Oh, it is not as severe today as it was in the past, but it is still a struggle for me to bypass printing important conversations with clients and customers. Yes, I enter the date and note in my database, and stash the email in an e-folder but I also still dedicate a section of every file to "correspondence" for my paper trail.

Has everyone but me switched to the electronic trail?
