In many institutions in more privileged parts of the world, photocopies
are often the mainstay of the English language teacher’s toolkit. In such
contexts, there is often an over-reliance on photocopied materials which
creates a huge amount of paper waste, and it seems clear that a new
attitude towards the environment is needed. Of course, there are many
ways that ELT professionals can contribute to environmental protection
(for example where possible, take fewer flights, make more use of online
communications, and so forth). However, since teachers in privileged
settings often rely so heavily on paper, this is one area in which it seems a
new approach is necessary.
