Green Jobs by Sam Davidson | Wednesday, July 30, 2008
Whether you're printing a rough draft for a meeting or a letter to your senator, make sure you follow these easy steps for a greener print job:
- Decrease your margins so you don't waste the white space.
- Recycle or refill your printer cartridges.
- If it's not important, print it on the back of something else.
- If it's really not important, don't print it at all.
- Use GreenPrint (for free) to strip away meaningless text and urls that waste paper by the truckload.
Following simple steps like these will help you go green at work.

I wish more people around my office thought about this. Some people put a disclaimer at the end of their e-mail messages asking people to "please consider the environment before printing this message". Few people do however. I've put some recycling procedures into play since I started working at my job though. Some have gone along with the example. Some not-so-much.
Becoming more printer-saavy is one of the most effective steps to take in office greening. When you feel like greening your office further, then you can take bigger strides like getting your office LEED certified and adopting a green purchasing policy.
