A couple of folks who work at RCI (Radio-Canada International) have started an online petition, aimed at getting the CBC/Radio-Canada to be more environmentally sound.
One signatory suggests “Small things — like getting double-sided printers and having discounts for people who bring their own cups and plates — at a place as big as CBC / Radio-Canada can have a huge impact!”
Ross Bragg, a Vancouver radio producer adds:
“I was a producer on the Roundup for CBC Radio in Vancouver. At that time the program was hosted by Tetsuro Shigematsu. I remember standing with him at the printer waiting for the scripts to be printed. The scripts were about 30 pages long and we needed three of them. It was a daily show and I remember thinking about the huge waste.
We decided to go paperless. This was pre-INews so we used shared documents and e-mail. Everyone in studio got used to reading off the screen. What I remember most is that it not only saved paper it saved time.”
They’d like to know about any similar initiative elsewhere within the Corp. If you know of any, please let them know via the comments here.
