This Page Intentionally Left Blank

You see this all the time.
A
page that is left blank for the print version of a publication (the reverse side of the table of contents, for example) is left as a blank page in the online PDF version.
This helps maintain consistent pagination between the two versions, but what a waste. Most people don’t have two-sided printing on their printers, so all those blank pages are churned out year-in, year-out for no purpose.
If you can find a way to avoid this environmental faux-pas, do it.

Might be a waste, but as a headline it sucked me right in.
Good one, Eric.
Do “Close Cover Before Striking,” and I’ll probably get sucked right back in.
Or just put the blank page back in your printer and re-use it.
