I am the same as cantleave.
Are you more ecological, more economical or more wasteful? Did your habits change at all when you left the borg?

That's a great find! Interesting paper or plastic doesn't show up there as food garbage does.
Anyone remember bethel tours where they would harp on about recycling stuff and installing special ink filters in their printing facilities 'way before time'?
I just found this old question from readers about why they don't print WTs on recycled paper :
*** g90 2/8 p. 30 From Our Readers ***
Recycled Paper Your issue of September 8, 1989, page 29, contained an interesting item on the recycling of paper, through which the ever-increasing pollution of our environment can be held in check. Yet, neither The Watchtower nor Awake! is printed on recycled paper. Whoever promotes certain standards but at the same time behaves in contradiction of them can only be designated a hypocrite.
F. S., Federal Republic of Germany
Recycled paper of either suitable quality or sufficient quantity to suit our large-scale printing operation is presently unavailable. Since recycled paper is also up to 20 percent more expensive than paper made from virgin fiber, it will no doubt be some time before it is commonly used for production printing. Nevertheless, where possible, waste paper from our printeries is sold for recycling. And substantial quantities of recycled materials are also used in the production of covers for our hardbound publications.—ED.
