Decrease our carbon footprint by making it mandatory for all documents printed in the white house to be double-sided.

Created by M.S. on January 10, 2013

The white house should set a positive example by calling for the economic and environmentally-friendly usage of our natural resources.

According to our calculations, using both sides (duplex printing) of each sheet of paper creates up to 50% savings in paper usage, which corresponds to less energy and resource uptake, including lumber and filtered water, by paper factories.

Furthermore, this will lead to up to a 50% reduction in paper waste.
