If you are like many clients in our eco friendly consulting, you may find yourself jotting down websites, Facebook pages or blogs to visit later from your computer.  Additionally, lots of people move among multiple computers and devices as part of their daily routine. Evernote, a free web based service, helps to reduce paper reminders and assist with synchronization of information.
 
Evernote has the ability to collect, in one well-organized, searchable, private digital repository, all the notes you create, clips from Web pages and emails you want to recall, dictated audio memos, photos, key documents, and more.  It's also a repository that is constantly synchronized, and is accessible through a Web browser and through apps on your various computers and smart phones. 

If you are looking for ways to live a sustainable lifestyle, this is one step that can help you do just that. Incorporating sustainability concepts of reducing paper contributes to living a sustainable lifestyle that not only helps you become better organized and more productive, but also helps reduce the largest portion of our waste stream.

When I began directing a green schools project for the local schools in the area, I searched for an organizational tool. My ideal tool would be multidimensional just like the task at hand. I discovered Evernote and immediately downloaded the BlackBerry application. I'm thrilled with it! If my hands are tied I can leave a voicenote. If I find a picture, I can upload it as well. In addition to the great features, its great to know all the work, notes, and memos I'm keeping are stored and managed in a sustainable way (as opposed to using note pads and files). I recommend Evernote to anyone.
