Think Before You Print tip
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.

Think Before You Print – Good advice
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.

23 bird species banded at LLCC’s bird banding station
The bird banding station at Lincoln Land Community College is up and running! This year, students are using a new shelter built by LLCC 
construction students. The male Golden-winged Warbler (photo by Stevie Emmons) was one of 88 birds of 23 species that were banded this week.
Think before you print tip–Make copies as needed
Make copies “as needed” rather than in large batches at one time. Frequently, extra copies of important internal documents become outdated quickly and only end up being discarded. Making copies as needed can reduce this problem significantly.
