The dirty secret of librarianship is the amount of paper we use. Well, it's not really a secret. And the fact that we offer a shared resource (i.e. books) based on paper saves untold numbers of trees every year. But we do use a lot of printer paper, and it costs us in time, money and nagging guilt. If you need some help taming this beast, TechSoup Global’s
GreenTech Program is hosting a free one-day online event on Wed. Nov.
12th:
Reduce Paper Use: Greening the Planet and Helping Your Nonprofit’s
Budget. Susan Kinsella, Executive Director of
Conservatree, and Jim Lynch, TechSoup
Global’s Director of Computer Recycling & Reuse and GreenTech Program will answer questions all day in the TechSoup forum. The event is asynchronous, and no registration is required. Just show up and ask your questions.
If you have any questions, please email:
community@techsoup.org.
We'll discuss issues such as:
-
Simple steps your organization can take right now to reduce paper use
- How to overcome some of the barriers for implementing green changes at your organization
-
Tips and tricks for how organizations and individuals can reduce their
environmental impact
