- Buy brands that focus on environmental sustainability such as Kyocera and Xerox. Did you know Kyocera has their Japanese factory at a zero emissions level currently?
- Print duplex and recycle your paper.
- On pages that were printed using only one side, reuse these sheets for other one-sided print jobs. A little known secret in printing is paper has both a top and a bottom side.
- Delegate a person in your office to see if there are ways to improve your recycling efforts.
