Lighten Your Paper Load

The average American uses more than 748 pounds of paper per year.* And here at HBS, it is probably safe to assume we consume more paper than the average American. Use these simple instructions to lighten your paper load. Tips include printing multiple pages per sheet, scaling document to fit the page, and printing multiple PowerPoint slides per page while also printing pure black and white- to avoid printing dark backgrounds which not only waste ink but are hard to read. And don't forget to reuse paper before recycling it, simply feed used paper into your printer and print on the blank side or use the blank side for notes. First Reduce- then Reuse-and then recycle!
