My work has recently removed all bins from desks (I remember you know this new torture well). But at the same time they've given us little cardboard pseudo-bins called TreeHuggers which is on the desk top - and if you fill the bin 30 times and recycle it, you've saved a tree.
...
Except... 1) You may have filled it with unnecessary printouts, so let's face it, not 100% guaranteed tree-friendly. 2) The bins themselves are only 80% recycled, so by my reckoning every 5th one has itself helped to kill a tree. 3) WE HAZ NO BINS, so everyone is using their TreeHuggers as bins, and they are full of apple cores, coke cans and other non-paper waste which is NOT BEING RECYCLED because they gave us bin-substitutes.
