PM will be a bit greener tonight.

Eddie Mair | 16:54 UK time, Tuesday, 11 September 2007

As I seem to remember discussing before somewhere on the Blog, I still use paper scripts for PM. I often read off screen but sometimes the screen is so busy with emails, blogs, texts etc, the script bit can get lost. Also: sometimes computers crash (it happened to me once live on Five Live) and it's good to have a paper back up.

Even though I've been recycling the PM scripts ( no jokes please ) for some time, tonight I will be scriptless throughout.

Listen out for that click of the mouse...

    This seems about as convincing as those messages telling you that 'Hand Driers reduce waste paper and are good for the environment' despite increasing the old 'carbon footprint' !
