Bronze:
-
We print or copy to both sides of a page whenever possible. Double-siding is set as a default on our office computers, and we placed a visual prompt on our copy machine to remind members of our office to double-side whenever possible. (Duplex printing on Windows)
-
In order to save paper when printing and copying, we reuse paper that has text on only one side whenever appropriate. We keep a scrap paper pile near our printer and/or copier.
-
We use inter-office instead of regular envelopes whenever possible and promote the redistribution of inter-office envelopes in our office or department.
Silver:
-
We have a designated area in our supply closet, or elsewhere in our office, for sharing office supplies that can be re-used (file folders, binders, pens, paper clips, etc).
-
There is at least one reusable bag in the kitchen or break room for our staff to use in place of plastic bags when shopping or buying lunch, supplies, etc.
-
We contacted news media and catalog distributors to receive fewer publications at our office.
Gold:
-
We reduce paper margins in order to decrease the length of documents we may print. (How to Reduce Margins)
Green:

If we publish a newsletter, we offer an electronic version that readers can select instead of the paper version.
