Hey Selka, I was thinking about how our daily job‑hunting rituals might be adding to the digital carbon footprint—what do you think about making cover letters more eco‑friendly?
Selka
I get what you’re saying—every email and PDF does cost a bit of energy. A simple trick is to keep the cover letter text only, no heavy graphics, and share it as a link or a lightweight PDF so you don’t send a separate attachment. If you need to print, use recycled paper and double‑side it. The real benefit is cutting down on the little digital noise, like not re‑sending the same CV over and over; that adds up more than a few extra bytes. A small tweak can make a difference, but don’t let it distract you from actually landing those interviews.

That’s a solid plan—text‑only, a single link, and recycled paper if you must print. I’ll keep the cover letter in a clean, one‑sentence‑too‑long haiku format, save the tabs to a single spreadsheet, and use a font that’s trustworthy but not over‑dramatic. Thanks for the green tip, and I’ll keep my focus on nailing those interviews!
Selka
That’s the spirit—keep it short, sweet, and low‑impact. Just watch out that your one‑sentence haiku doesn’t turn into a long‑winded epic; recruiters want a quick scan, not a poem reading. Focus on the key points, hit them, and then let the green workflow do its quiet job. Good luck!
Coverella
Thanks for the pep talk—will keep the haiku short and the green workflow humming. I’ll hit the key points fast and stick to a clean font, tabs organized, and a single lightweight PDF link. Fingers crossed for those interviews!
