The University of Florida recently launched "Think Before You Ink," a campaign to reduce the amount of pages faculty, students, and staff print and/or copy on campus. The campaign has three separate parts: Save the Paper, Print to Web, and Printer Certification. Save the Paper is designed to reduce the waste and inefficiency associated with campus photocopies and printouts. Print to Web, which is scheduled to launch in the coming weeks, will encourage the use of the Internet and e-mail for distribution of items including newsletters and class materials. This initiative also calls for careful review of magazines, brochures and other written materials, to determine which publications may be candidates for conversion to Web or electronic format. Printer Certification, which is also scheduled to launch in the coming weeks, will require printers to be certified based on pricing, service, quality and sustainability practices. The Think Before You Ink campaign has also created the UF Green Team, a first-point-of-contact for any questions regarding sustainability. The Green Team will be comprised of volunteers from the various campus colleges and units, and will be trained in various sustainability practices.
