Want to Save the Environment? How About a New Font?
Eau Claire Wisconsin Real Estate Agent
I came across this article and at first I didn’t really think much about it. The company Spranq has developed a new font dubbed Ecofont that uses less ink by basically punching holes in the font. You can read more about it here. How much of a difference can a simple font make? I guess I was just thinking of this in the simplest of terms, yes a font could save ink, but is 20% less ink really going to save the environment? But you see this is much more than that. According to Spranq “With the Ecofont SPRANQ hopes to increase environmental awareness too. Increasing customer awareness about printing behavior: is printing really necessary or (partly) a waste of ink and paper? We also hope to inspire software giants and printer manufacturers to innovate in an environmentally conscious manner.”
It really is all about the big picture. Everyone needs to take part in saving our environment. It has to be a global effort. I think one of the biggest obstacles to environmentalism has been that if its not easy to do then it just wont happen. The inconvenience of saving the planet. Well this isn’t hard to do and the message you send is a good one when you use this font. You don’t have to save this font for printed materials either. Anywhere you want to send the subtle message of saving the earth you can use this font. (If you haven’t noticed this article is written with the new font.)
Here is what it looks like in larger format.
Now here is a bold statement!
What will you do to get the word out?
You can download the font here. Once you have downloaded the font you can read instructions on how to install it here as well. This literally takes 30 seconds or less so please take part in this effort. Make sure you check out the website and feel free to donate to the cause. I encourage everyone to switch. Again, this doesn’t have to be restricted to printed materials. The message is about stopping the waste of paper and inks.
Remember think before you print !
