Save millions of dollars in taxpayer funds by simply encouraging the changing of a font by federal employees.

Created by T.C. on March 29, 2014

1) Suvir Mirchandani and Peter Pinko describe that simply encouraging federal employees to change the font they use to print, could save hundreds of millions of dollars in federal spending each year. Their work is detailed here:

2) The federal government already has an existing outreach program called PrintWise which encourages federal employees to make cost-cutting print decisions across the U.S. government through simple behavior changes.

3) It's a simple process for federal employees to change their default font they use in their word processors.

Please incorporate the benefits explained by Suvir and Peter into the existing PrintWise program.
