Go Green, Get Healthy Campaign

Print double-sided and only when needed: Reduce your use of paper 50% or more by changing your printer default settings to print double-sided.

According to the Center for a New American Dream, each American on average consumes more than 730 pounds of paper each year. In 2005 the U.S. generated 246 million tons of municipal solid waste, and nearly 35% of this was paper, according to the Green Living Guide by the National Geographic Society. Only print when it’s not feasible for you to read the materials on your computer screen. Reuse paper that only has printed material on one side.
