It’s just that I can save 70% by going “blue”:
I’m just a greedy business owner, trying to cut corners, right?
Can you imagine what this is going to do to residential real estate?

Hey man, if you’re buying legal sized file folders, then it means you’re putting loan packages together. Go for the Green.

A fantastic illustration of why capitalism isn’t a perfect system. Unsustainable business practices are sometimes encouraged. I’m not saying that cap and trade is the answer, though.

I don’t know Brian. Cap & Trade will make energy costs so high, that the recycled folders might become cheaper than new. They will probably be made locally, in small factories, with wind powered mills and dried in the sun by hand. They can be delivered to retailers by bicycle, 50 pounds or so worth at a time. Larger shipments can be made with horse drawn wagons.
All of that will probably be less expensive than $.40 to $.70 per kilowatt to convert new pulp and ship things like we do now. So, stock up now before they are $50 per box.
Can’t wait to blog with goose quill pens and replace the internet with the “pigeon net.” I’m sure Al Gore will invent that as well.

Oh Boy Brian! You left out a bunch of stuff. I know it looks like the recycled folders are more expensive, but you forgot to factor in:
Grand Total: $9.99
Add that to the actual cost of $10.99 and you see your true cost is $20.98. This makes the recycled folders a bargain at $17.99. It’s all part of the new economic theory using the Green Cost Of Goods sold or (G-COG).
Please try to be a little more transparent in future posts. Thank you.

Maybe we could settle this over a Red Stripe?
