Hip Bureaucrats

Think most bureaucrats are stuffy and boring? Not forward thinking? They don't think green enough?

Not I, say the White House. A great article in the WSJ on how something simple like not publishing tons of documents can save trees (a short read too). President Bush by not making the usual 3,000 copies of the budget is saving 480 tress and US taxpayers $1 million.

Seems like something simple most governments agencies can start adopting. Many already go through the process of posting documents online. If you will permit me the use of cliche - this is as low hanging as low hanging fruit can get.

Now if only the UN can get those policy documents to under 100 pages......
