My office wastes a lot of paper.
My old office did not waste much paper.

we waste a lot of paper, but we recycle it, so it's all good

Our office used to b/c of people believing that they needed to print off every e-mail they receive

I actually held a class a couple months ago where I taught how to make two-sided copies. It was a glorious thing to teach.

We use a ton of paper, being a publishing company. We don't waste as much as I would expect, though.

if(office1>=office2, paper++, shredder removed)

11/10/2010 12:37:51 PM

Yes, but not as much as we once did. We only waste it when we buy it. And we can't afford it anymore.

This office hasn't quite moved into the realm of digital modeling yet. So printing out models on peices of paper larger than I am is wasteful.

Also, some old foggeys still print out handouts for meetings

11/10/2010 12:42:25 PM

in the grand scheme of things...no

11/10/2010 12:42:30 PM

Nope. To even print something we have to print doublesided and in grayscale. I'm sure we recycle otherwise

Though, I can say I don't think anyone makes toilet paper nests here. Instead, we have those thin paper seat covers.

the timing of this thread is insanely accurate

CPAs doing tax stuff = shitload of wasted paper

11/10/2010 12:52:23 PM

Our paralegals try to use one sheet of paper as many times as possible. Its kinda ridiculous.

I'm extremely wasteful. My paralegal hates my paper wasting habits.

11/10/2010 12:53:55 PM

We should keep using more paper so that the homeless can keep warm. DURRR

CPAs doing anything = shitload of wasted paper

in college all we ever heard about in our accounting classes was how everything was trending towards paperless but that certainly isn't the case at my firm. And when I try to put permanent type files on pdf's and keep them electronically, everybody seems annoyed that they have to get on the computer to look at something so they tell me to just print it out for them anyways.

So stupid

print job cover sheets

why

My office wastes a ridiculous amount of paper. They might as well buy a paper mill to save on cost.

11/10/2010 1:53:27 PM

for a couple months my boss (local govt) made me print out every email in fear that the municipality's computer system would loose our emails.
