Business Processes

• Whenever possible, we encourage State employees not to print emails, files, or web pages that are available for viewing electronically.
• If printing is a necessity, try to use duplex printers and double-sided printing to reduce paper use.
• For all paper materials, we also encourage the use of recycled paper and soy ink certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.
• Reduce printing runs of publications by posting all literature electronically on State websites.
• Encourage researchers to copy electronic files of the State’s archeological inventory rather than printing them and to use digital cameras instead of copy machines when a copy of a photograph is needed.
• Supporting conference calls, and internet-based meeting solutions to reduce travel to meetings.
• Promoting telework solutions and compressed work weeks to lessen the carbon footprint of State employees.
• Visit newspaper websites as an alternative to receiving paper copies.
