The concept of 365 things you can do emerged in Navid Modiri’s head as he sat in an airport hyper-ventilating over how he’d become a miserable human being. But as he looked up between his not-breathing he saw John Tells book "100 ways to save the world". That’s how 365 things started. This is a way to praise Johan Tell, and the planet. Here are: Seven things you can do to save the world.

I have one word that I hate: Because. There is no word I’d rather delete from the dictionary than that word: Because. It is a non-word. It is a word that irritated parents use to avoid talking to their children. It is a word that teachers use when they don’t have an answer to a student’s question. It’s the word politicians think of when they start long monologues instead of answering the question asked by the journalist. It is a word for lazy, cowardly and despicable people.

It’s also the response you get from many companies that still send paper versions of things. When you ask them why they can’t send invoices, information and important material through e-mail instead of posting it, they have no real answer. We hear them scratching their head on the other end. Then they say: Eliminating hard copies is a process and not something you do in a snap. What they’re really saying is: Because. And then they make silent fart sounds with their mouths like grumpy children that don’t get what they want do.

Bonus 1 - Put up a sign on your door that says "Advertising is for dorks" so you don’t get a bunch of paper in your home that way.

Bonus 2 – In your Internet bank, there is certainly an easy way to cancel paper bills and receive e-bills instead. So you don’t have to contact the companies yourself.

Bonus 3 - Cancel your newspaper and buy a cool mobile instead. With it you can stay in bed and get your news as soon as you wake up. Then you can go back to sleep.
