At the copier and printer:
- Make double-sided copies
- Consider using half a sheet for short memos
- Use obsolete documents with one side blank for draft copies
To get the word out:
- Use voice-mail or e-mail instead of hard copies
- Post announcements on bulletin boards
- Route one copy of a document to multiple people
On the computer:
- Read e-mails on screen instead of printing
- Edit documents on the screen before printing
- Adjust margins and font size to avoid pages with just a few lines
In the lunchroom:
- Bring a reusable mug for beverages
- Save flatware for reuse
- Bring a cloth napkin to use throughout the week
- Pack lunch items in reusable containers
Reusing:
- Use scrap paper for phone messages and notes
- Re-label and reuse file folders
- Save large mailing pouches for reuse - purchase large address labels to cover the old address
Purchasing:
- Avoid using colored paper whenever possible - white paper is more valuable when recycling
- Purchase recycled paper products to help complete the recycling loop, and to create more demand for recyclables
- Consider trying unbleached paper - the chlorine used to bleach paper produces dioxin
