PLNU Sustainability in Action (BUS475)

The next step would be to reduce the amount of water used when washing the dishes. I feel that water can easily be misused and wasted during this process, especially in households that place a high emphasis on cleanliness. 

I feel that encouraging a company to make this shift would be relatively easy. From a pure economics standpoint, if all reports were double-sided, it would cut down on the office supply costs for the company, thus widening their margins.
