This law firm's staff recognized that paper use was a significant opportunity for reduction. The firm now reuses scrap paper for note pads and printing draft copies, sends documents electronically, and has implemented a practice of bundling mailing of documents to clients, instead of sending multiple, individual mailings. Bundling documents saves energy and reduced air pollution by reducing the number of trips the staff makes to the post office. In order to save energy, the firm has installed T-8 fluorescent lighting, turns off unnecessary lights and sets its thermostat to 78 degrees.
