I would be lying if I told you I never used sticky tape. I think you would have to look hard to find someone who does not use it for wrapping packages, posting notes on the refrigerator door, or holding pieces of paper together.
Sticky tape is so useful chat it is hard to imagine life without it.
As a person committed to the principles of conservation, however, I feel obliged to use it responsibly whenever its use seems inevitable. Use any alternative method that is equally quick and handy, and probably reversible, e.g. commercially available roller dispensers of what appears to be a cellulose ether. Use the best kind for the job, and replace it before it reaches the end of its life span, especially if it is on the wall. If you wait too long, the residue cam be softened with common oil and scraped off, as long as the surface does not absorb oil. When you must use tape on something that may have some future value, tear it in half lengthwise.
