green initiative to cut everyday
printing waste.
THE SECRET OF GREEN PRINTING
(You really don’t have to print out all those headers, footers and random
minutiae)
A new, green software application
is saving green at UW-Green Bay.
About 800 employee workstations
had GreenPrint installed
in late February. The program
not only encourages more conscious
decisions before hitting the
“print” key, it also de-selects extra,
unneeded pages before they reach
the printer. On e-mails, typical culprits
are lengthy address headers
Phoenix Country
or multiple replies. On web printouts,
it can be banners, footnote
info, or image-intensive pages that
consume extra reams of paper and
costly toner.
In the first month alone, the program
documented campuswide savings
of 20,000 pages not printed.
Using a cost factor of six cents per
sheet, that’s about $1,200 in savings
in less than a month.
