As a child, I never even imagined that words like e-receipt, e-prescription, or digital bankbook would ever exist.

But nowadays these terms are widely used in everyday life as a matter of course.

To promote green living, some stores offer incentives to customers who receive an e-receipt instead of a paper one.

Many companies are working on reducing paper usage as part of their efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

At our company, we encourage the use of laptops or tablets during meetings.

We also monitor how much each department has reduced its paper usage compared to the previous year or month.

I still print our reports as I repeatedly revise them, which isn’t a good thing in terms of resource conservation and greenhouse gas reduction.
