Theme of the term:

Paper and Printing

Quick tips from the UBC Sustainability Office to improve your environment:

• Minimize or eliminate the use of printed meeting agendas.
• Use track changes and commenting to review and edit draft documents.
• Collect paper that has been previously printed on one side only and place in a box next to your department's printer. You can use this paper for printing or as scrap paper.
• Call Unisource at 604-520-7440 to order 30% or 100% post-consumer recycled copy paper and give them your UBC Purchase Card (PCard) number.
• Print exact numbers. If you are unsure if you will use your entire run, consider digital printing. Digital printing allows you to print only what you need with no extra copies.
