PDF or WWF. Mother Nature Hates You!













The World Wildlife Fund is haxxor your adobez readorz

Apparently, in order to preserve the rest of the trees on the planet (because trees can't be replanted or grown again) and not waste paper (because paper is not recyclable) the WWF has designed their own version of the PDF file format. One that cannot be printed. So basically, if someone hits this stupid feature "Save as WWF" and sends the file to you and you WANT to print off the PDF so you can read it later when you do not have computer access, well guess what? Thats right, the idiots at WWF decided you should only read the document on the computer.

I'd honestly like to see what leaves a bigger carbon footprint, printing off the page and putting it in the recycling when finished with it, or keeping the document in a filing cabinet ORRRRRR the amount of power your computer consumes to repeatedly access and view the document each time you need to review it.

Ideally it seems like a good idea but not too practical.
