Dedicate one printer or printer tray to reuse paper already printed on one side. Place paper that has been used on one side next to the printer so it can be used next time the paper tray is loaded.

Good advice – Everyone should be responsible when considering whether an item should be printed. It may help to think about whether you really need a printout, and how long you plan to keep it. If it is an email you can quickly take care of on-screen, and won’t need to reference again, ask yourself whether printing it really adds value. If not, you may want to skip printing this time. However, if an item needs to be read in detail, written on and remembered, paper is a reasonable and responsible choice.

The Multicultural Fest is coming up on Wednesday, Oct. 7 outside of A. Lincoln Commons from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. We need a lot of extra hands to ensure its success! Please click on the volunteer form to sign up. Thank you in advance!

In MS Word, go to File, then to Page Setup. Then choose Reduce the Margins and set your margins to smaller numbers. Compared to the normal settings, you could use up to 14% less paper!
