Essential Question Post #2

Today I was with one of my friends from my math class, and we were in the computer lab printing out our math notes. Our math teacher does all of our notes on the smart board and puts them on epunahou so we can print them out. My friend and I like to print out all of the notes from a chapter before the chapter test to help us study. We always feel guilty when we do this because we both end up leaving the computer lab with a stack of atleast fifty pages of math notes. Also, we know that we aren't the only ones in our math class that do this. At least a third of our class prints out all the notes at school at some point, and the other people probably print them out at home. I started thinking about how much paper and ink we are wasting, especially since not everybody recycles, and people probably throw the papers away after the test. You also waste a lot of ink. We all have notebooks for class that we are supposed to take our notes and do homework in. If we all actually copied all of the notes down in class we wouldn't have to waste that paper. Or we could just listen in class and instead of printing the notes off the computer, you could copy them into your notebook from the computer. That way we wouldnt use up so much paper and ink.
