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.
